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 purified, turn-based puzzle of resource conversion where every decision feels weighty and consequential.

What players say

Players describe the game as a stripped-down, fast grand strategy focused on resource conversion that can be learned in under an hour. They appreciate the variety of faction goals and the lore, but many find the UI frustrating because key information is buried in menus, forcing clicks that break the flow.
