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 and complex grand strategy game where you meticulously manage a 19th-century empire through industrialization and conquest on a global map.

What players say

Players praise the depth and historical accuracy, especially its handling of the 19th century and economy, but are nearly unanimous that turn times become excruciatingly long after a hundred turns. Many call it a brilliant but flawed game, with some split on whether the crashes and lack of automation make it unplayable.
