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 slow, deliberate journey across an impossibly huge pixel-art map, where every step is a trade or a fight for survival

What players say
Players compare it to Lords of Midnight and Oregon Trail for its turn-based travel across a massive handcrafted map. Trading and managing provisions is the core loop, but reviewers note the world feels empty and there is no ambient music. The game is minimalistic and aims to convey the scale of the Silk Road, though some find the gameplay shallow.
