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

Playing feels like commanding a mercenary company through deliberate, large-scale battles and kingdom management with a nostalgic 2000s strategy game pace.

What players say

Players split hard on this one. Many call it a predatory cash grab where the developer re-releases the same game with minor map changes every few months and stops supporting it. Others find it genuinely fun, praising the siege battles and comparing it favorably to Total War, though they admit it is rough, buggy, and lacks polish.
