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 sprawling, methodical experience of managing limitless armies and cities through deep resource simulation.

What players say

Players warn the UI is obtuse and the tutorial is poor, making an already complex logistics and war game frustrating to learn. Those who push through find an impressive scale in both city building and combat, though automation remains wonky and the game's identity feels split.
