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 methodical, large-scale turn-based conquest set in a classic fantasy war, demanding patient strategic planning.

What players say

Players praise the strategic depth and customization, but say the game crashes on modern systems and has dated graphics and a confusing UI. Newcomers are advised to read the manual to understand hidden mechanics.
