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

You feel the vast, untamed open world through deliberate horse breeding and exploration, with a calm, methodical pace that immerses you in the 13th-century Mongolian landscape.

What players say

Players praise the horse breeding and taming mechanics, calling it a dream for horse game fans who loved RDR2's horseplay. But they also say it feels very early in access: the world is empty, missions quickly become repetitive cargo runs, movement and stamina feel too slow, and many features are still missing. Opinions split on whether to buy now or wait.
