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, turn-based tactical RPG set in a grim medieval Germany where human passions and fears manifest tangibly, with punishing battles and meaningful choices.

What players say

Players praise its grounded medieval atmosphere inspired by the Holy Roman Empire, with no dragons or elves. The real-time global map and turn-based combat are standout mechanics, but many find the UI clunky and the early game frustrating. Progress resets between chapters, and players split on whether the gameplay is engaging or repetitive.
