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 blend of kingdom management and role-playing where you oversee resources, armies, and subjects in a medieval dynasty simulator.

What players say

Players praise the game's branching narrative and historical depth, but split on its writing: some find it gripping, others call it illogical. Many note the English translation is incomplete, leaving untranslated text scenes. The story's pacing and forced sacrifices in later acts draw mixed reactions.
