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 methodical, top-down strategy game where you slowly expand a wizard civilization across a procedurally generated galaxy, balancing resource gathering and building placement on a grid.

What players say

Players say it's more a logistics puzzle than a typical 4X, with unique mechanics that set it apart. The tutorial is weak and the learning curve is steep, but the game is still rewarding. Graphics and interface are rough.
