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 dark fantasy strategy RPG where you navigate a politically charged world of persecuted magic users and advancing technology.

What players say

Players split on the story: some find it gripping and witty, others call it brain-dead. The endgame optional content is grindy with ballooning enemy health, even for those who like grinding. It is widely seen as a worthy successor to Empire, and fans recommend playing Empire first for backstory.
