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

The game feels like reading a dense, branching novel where your moral and tactical decisions shape the fate of a military campaign.

What players say

Players praise the writing and world-building in this Napoleonic-era interactive novel, but warn it is short and linear as the first entry in a trilogy. Many note unforgiving stat management and the lack of a female protagonist option. Opinions split on length: some see it as a tight start, others as barely a third of a book.
