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 deep, old-school fantasy RPG with tactical turn-based combat and a huge open world that encourages freeform exploration and unconventional play styles.

What players say

Players call it a faithful old-school CRPG in the Ultima tradition, with a hard start that rewards patience. The world does not respawn enemies, so gold and experience are finite resources. Some find the design too basic and unpolished.
