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 like the hex tile map-building concept but are split on the game. Many praise the tactical depth and casual 15-minute play sessions, yet complaints about heavy RNG, lag past day 20, and no updates since 2022 are common. Some find it worth a dollar, others say it feels unfinished.
