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 methodical turn-based strategy game where you manage an empire, research magic, and expand on a hex grid.

What players say
Players describe this as Civilization with a heavier focus on combat and magic, calling it a great beginner 4X. Multiplayer is dead, and some report a decade-old building bug that crashes the game, though others say it works fine.
