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 mix of turn-based planning and real-time battles where managing farms and trades is as crucial as commanding troops.

What players say

The game is a beloved medieval strategy classic that runs through DOSBox, but players consistently warn it has no tutorial and is very confusing at first. Once you figure out the economy and castle building, many find it surprisingly deep and addicting, though some struggle for hours just to understand how to play.
