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 medieval city builder where you balance resource management, council negotiations, and army raising from a first-person perspective.

What players say

Players say the game feels unfinished and abandoned, with no updates since early 2024. It has fun potential as a mix of role-playing and city building, but suffers from repetitive tasks, weak AI, and a clunky first-person view.
