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

You feel like a shadowy puppet master carefully managing proxy conflicts and espionage while always aware that one miscalculation could trigger global annihilation.

What players say

Players are split on Precipice. Some enjoy it as a simple Cold War strategy game, but many warn about heavy reliance on luck with few ways to mitigate dice rolls. Long-time players also report that the AI is brain-dead, the game is buggy, and the developer has abandoned it without fixing known issues like misaligned mouse pointers on widescreen monitors.
