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 turn-based strategy game with immersive fantasy lore and a serious political narrative.

What players say

Players are split on the game: some enjoy the return to classic Heroes elements and call it a solid entry, while many others cite forced Ubisoft Connect, keybinding resets, and frequent crashes as dealbreakers. The random map generator is often broken, and battles drag on due to lengthy animations.
