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 manage a struggling caravan in a troubled medieval kingdom, carefully buying and selling goods while making choices in random events and protecting your convoy with turn-based combat.

What players say
Players enjoy the trading loop but say it becomes grindy and repetitive, especially on harder difficulties. Many note a bug that prevents 100% achievement completion, and reviews are split on whether the campaign runs out of direction in the late game.
