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 strategic rebuilding and defense game where you manage economy and combat while trading goods on the amber trail.

What players say

Players praise the addictive loop of building, trading, and fighting in a Slavic-themed tower defense. However, reviews consistently point out there is no victory condition, so the game feels incomplete and repetitive once defenses are maxed. Some find the stun-locking frustrating, while others appreciate the hero's direct combat, unlike similar games such as Kingdom.
