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 like a cunning puppeteer, carefully plotting each turn to manipulate global politics through bribery and infiltration.

What players say
Players are split on this turn-based strategy game. Some enjoy the puzzle-like, level-by-level challenge of managing a secret society, comparing it to games like Into The Breach. Others find it shallow, repetitive, and too reliant on RNG, especially as a difficulty penalty after each conquered region makes the later game punishing.
