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

Swipe through political intrigue and dark humor to manage factions and survive as a noble in a tense, minimalist card-based kingdom.

What players say

Players say the swiping-card formula fits Westeros well, letting them rule as Jon Snow, Daenerys, Cersei and others, but they split on the execution. Many praise the writing and the 20-hour length for the price. Others call it repetitive and luck-based, pointing to repeated card pools and early deaths that feel random.
