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 methodical turn-based tactical RPG where you guide a party through a politically intricate fantasy-steampunk world, balancing careful grid movement and character customization against a slow-burning mystery.

What players say

Players call Spellpowder a simple, pleasant tactical RPG in the style of Fire Emblem or XCOM, with a charming steampunk look and characters they grow to care about. Opinions split on depth: some find the combat and level design too samey or bare bones, while others appreciate the lack of complexity.
