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 slow, thoughtful chess-like strategy game where each move carries narrative weight and character relationships develop through battle.

What players say
Players praise the art style and Arthurian atmosphere but are split on the tactics. Many say combat is too simple, relying on one-square moves that create stalemates. Playthroughs are short, often under an hour, and the story feels undeveloped with a disappointing ending. Some compare it unfavorably to Wildermyth.
