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, thoughtful deconstruction of 4X strategy that feels more like researching and debating historical perspectives than competing for dominance

What players say
Players praise the game for being a thoughtful postcolonial critique of the 4X genre, framed as students researching a project. But many report crashes that prevent finishing a game, and others find the systems unclear and confusing.
