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.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, fast strategy game where you gather an army and conquer maps in about ten minutes per round. Tactical control is limited, with most battles playing out automatically and only a few units like dragons and cavalry offering direct orders. The short campaigns are praised for quick sessions, though some find the mechanics too basic and the maps static after a few hours.
