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
Playing feels like orchestrating global chess moves under the shadow of mutual assured destruction, balancing military, espionage, and propaganda over compressed decades.

What players say
Players say the game is very simple, essentially clicking a few buttons to manage influence and resources across countries. It lacks a tutorial, save feature, and historical events, which divides players: some find it a quick, board-game-like time sink while others call it bare and confusing.
