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.

What players say

Players consistently praise the game for teaching about ancient Roman life through light puzzles and errands, but note the puzzles are simple and the game is short, centered on fetch quests. The comic-book art style is widely liked, and while some wish it were longer or more challenging, others say it works well for kids.
