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 classic fantasy RTS with multiple factions and a measured, strategic feel.

What players say

Players value the three distinct factions and the Glory economy mechanic that sets it apart from typical RTS games. The campaign's difficulty varies sharply, with mission balance often hinging on hero abilities and luck. Crashes are common, especially in the Darkling campaign, and players wish for a resolution patch.
