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

A chaotic and gritty sandbox real-time strategy game where you lead bloody battles, manage factions, and shape a persistent medieval world.

What players say

Players universally say the game was abandoned by its developer, with the last update in 2019 and no mod community to fill in the gaps. While some saw potential in the concept, they complain it remains incomplete and buggy, and many compare it unfavorably to Mount & Blade.
