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

Carefully building influence and directing armies with meticulous, soldier-level command in a fractured realm.

What players say

Players consistently describe the game as drowning in micromanagement, with some calling it an 'accounting simulator' rather than a strategy game. They appreciate that crash bugs were fixed, but note AI-generated art cheapens the feel. The four-tier command system and complex trade chains are seen as overwhelming, not deep.
