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 gentle, low-pressure city builder where you arrange buildings on a hex grid to the sound of acoustic guitar, letting your mind drift as you balance resources and discover surprising depth.

What players say

Players describe Hexton as a short hex-and-card-based strategy builder where you place buildings to expand across a map. The controls are mouse-only, with no keyboard support, and some find the dragging-based system clumsy. The difficulty comes from balancing resources and planning around terrain like rivers and mountains.
