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 procedurally generated medieval pixel-art RTS that feels straightforward and casual, with skirmishes and village development that are intense but not punishing.

What players say

Players call it a simple, fun RTS for short sessions, praising map customization and value. Many note content is light, with no campaign, overpowered archers, and UI quirks like keyboard-only scrolling.
