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 calm, methodical experience of building and managing a medieval village around its central church.

What players say

Players describe a unique flood-defense city builder where water physics are central and the difficulty surprises. The campaign is short and restarting is common, but save bugs and the lack of pause or speed controls frustrate. Some feel development has stalled since early access.
