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 charming, laid-back medieval town builder where you manage resources and solve quirky problems while dealing with unpredictable rogue-lite events.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple menu-driven city builder with tough invasions that force you to balance economy and army. Length is short at around 2 hours if you rush, but replay value comes from random events and multiple strategies. Players are split on the difficulty: some find it relaxing, others rage-quit hard.
