The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a methodical top-down strategy game where you balance resources, technology, and expansion while managing the fragility of your empire.

What players say

Players say the concept is promising but the execution falls flat. The war system makes no sense, rebellions happen constantly, and the map is small. Some find it fun despite bugs, but many say it is overpriced compared to similar games like Ages of Conflict.
