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 feel like a desperate ruler scrambling to hold together a crumbling empire against inevitable decay.

What players say

Players are split on this solo-developed Roman empire sim. Many praise the vision and the responsive developer, but nearly as many report armies and fleets getting stuck on the map, constant rebellions, and a confusing UI that makes diplomacy and army management frustrating. Long-time players say it is unfinished but improving.
