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 methodical, tactical puzzle of raising and commanding undead squads in dark fantasy battles, with a grim, punishing feel.

What players say

Players compare Nemire to XCOM and Battle Brothers but note its brutal difficulty, with enemies that phase through units and statistically impossible mandatory missions. The random unit traits and short runs keep runs fresh, yet bugs and slow progression hold the game back. Players are split on the balance, with some praising the challenge and others calling it unfairly tuned.
