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

Feels like a darkly humorous, story-rich strategy game where your choices as a treacherous medieval advisor shape the kingdom's fate in a variety of surprising ways.

What players say

Players are split on this short choice-based game. Some enjoy the moral questions and shaping a kingdom, while others find it tedious, describing it as a long questionnaire. Multiple reviews mention secret words and ending assessments. There is no save feature and the game can freeze, forcing restarts.
