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 tense, cutthroat digital board game where you scheme, bribe, and assassinate your way to victory with quick, tactical turns.

What players say

Players praise the strategic depth and charming Victorian underworld setting, but find matches too short and the single-player campaign limited. Many say multiplayer is dead and wish for harder AI settings.
