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

You juggle hiring heroes, sending them on procedurally generated quests, and expanding your agency in a lighthearted fantasy business sim.

What players say

Players like the premise of managing a fantasy adventuring agency, but nearly everyone finds the execution frustrating. Combat is slow and manual, progress is harshly gated by a fame system that punishes success, and the game was left unfinished after early access. Many call it repetitive and grindy, with some noting extremely long save loads.
