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 laid-back, nostalgic trading simulation where you buy low and sell high across medieval towns.

What players say

Players say this retro trading game is fundamentally unbalanced, with its own guide recommending to ignore trading and gamble instead. The core loop grows shallow and repetitive, leaving few redeeming qualities.
