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 navigate a coldly political, text-driven fantasy succession where every decision is a tactical gamble against ruthless rivals in a world that despises you.

What players say

Players praise the writing, characters, and worldbuilding but are split on whether choices matter. Many say the story ends suddenly, setting up a sequel instead of delivering a complete arc. Romance is a focus, and the amount of male love interests has been criticized as unfair to straight male players.
