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 and layered city-builder where you balance resource management, citizen happiness, and rival threats in a historical Roman setting.

What players say
Players describe it as a direct homage to Caesar III and Pharaoh, but opinions split on execution. Some praise the active developer and depth, while others call it unfinished with a clunky interface, poor combat, and updates stalled after 2018.
