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 contemplative, narrative-driven strategy game where you guide a clan through mythic generations, with every small decision building into an epic saga.

What players say

Players are split. Many love the deep worldbuilding and mythology, but frustration is widespread over opaque mechanics, combat that feels rigged regardless of preparation, and a linear main quest that punishes one wrong choice with a bad ending. The ending itself disappoints, and some wish for a mode without the forced story.
