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 grim, text-heavy simulation where you manage a crumbling empire through tough decisions and skill checks.

What players say
Players compare it to Long Live the Queen, but many find the deaths too random and repetitive. The writing and Persian/Indian art are praised, while bugs and a lack of guides frustrate others, especially around week 50.
