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 medieval kingdom management simulation that feels like a heavy, unfinished grand strategy game with complex systems but poor polish and a warning to wait for the remastered version.

What players say

Players see a promising low-budget crusader kings alternative, but the tutorial and UI are widely criticized as confusing or broken, and the economy feels off when tournament winnings dwarf years of tax income. Many note that the developer has kept updating the game for years, which earns goodwill.
