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 contemplative grand-strategy simulation where you manage resources, research, and diplomacy across a turn-based world map, feeling the weight of historical decisions.

What players say
Players are deeply split. Some call it a rewarding strategy game with better AI and more depth than its predecessor. Many more report game-breaking bugs: constant out-of-memory crashes after turn 150, save files that silently fail, and an economy that swings wildly for no explained reason. Long-time fans say these issues have persisted for years.
