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 turn-based tactical RPG that feels like commanding a slow, deliberate army through a sprawling fantasy Viking saga.

What players say

Players praise the early game and call it the best King's Bounty, but many report frequent crashes that make the second half unplayable. Late-game quests feel padded and the final boss is underwhelming.
