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 describe it as a fast 4X-lite that delivers empire building in under an hour, often comparing it to a board game or autobattler. They note a lack of exploration and map movement, with some feeling the faction economy and random events are unbalanced.
