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 methodical, old-school RPG that drops you into a sprawling mythological sandbox with dated controls and a patient, quest-heavy pace.

What players say

Players say Konung 3 has a weak story with most of it at the start and end, and the writing suffers from typos and untranslated words. The 3D graphics are considered ugly even for the time, but the Slavic mythology setting and kingdom management mechanics appeal to fans of the series, who find it addictive despite clunky controls and confusing quest objectives.
