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 bleak yet hopeful tactical card battler where you carefully command misfit heroes against robotic foes in turn-based skirmishes.

What players say

Players compare Rise of Humanity to a mix of XCOM and deck-building games, appreciating its tactical depth and card-driven combat. Early Access shows promise with polished presentation, though some note bugs like save file corruption and crashes, and others wish for more content and faster pacing.
