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 slow, methodical fantasy strategy game where you build an empire, research spells, and conquer procedurally generated worlds.

What players say

Players compare it to classic 4X games like Master of Magic, but say it is buggy and unfinished even years after release. The user interface is clunky, online multiplayer is nonexistent, and battles can feel slow. Players are split: some enjoy the ambitious scope and classic feel, while others find it repetitive and frustrating.
