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 fast-paced turn-based strategy where each click expands your colorful kingdom, balancing exploration and building against an impending barbarian invasion.

What players say
Players praise this as a clever mix of Minesweeper and Civilization that still holds up after nearly two decades. It works great for quick sessions and on Steam Deck, but some note the Steam version removed original music and that map RNG can make some levels unwinnable.
