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 deliberate and immersive fantasy strategy experience where you manage armies, explore a ruined world, and develop your mage through tactical turn-based combat.

What players say

A deeply nostalgic 1990s strategy-rpg hybrid that demands patience for its dated interface and punishing difficulty. Players love the depth and music, but warn newcomers to save often because death means reloading. Reviews strongly suggest using a fan rebalance mod for a better experience.
