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 lighthearted blend of town management and adventure where you gather heroes and build up a cozy little settlement at your own pace.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the cozy pixel art and nostalgic callbacks to the original mobile Crusader Quest, but many more call it a slow, repetitive screensaver with no real gameplay. Long-time fans say balance patches made the grind worse, and late-game bosses with infinite shields and poor hero balance spoil the fun.
