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 grimdark mercenary simulation where you carefully manage a guild of warriors, sending them on missions and building your hall while tactical autobattles unfold.

What players say

Players praise the passion and responsive developer support, but split on the mix of autobattler and RPG. Some find the combat brisk and tactical with meaningful party composition, while others say micromanagement is overwhelming and battles feel too busy. The story and voice acting get mixed reactions, and the game is set to be delisted.
