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 feel like a ruthless arena manager balancing brutal gladiator fights, resource planning, and base upgrades in a dark fantasy world.

What players say
Players praise the deep gladiator management and bizarre fantasy roster but warn of bugs, steep difficulty spikes, and slow loads. Split on whether the late game loses steam, and some call combat hard to follow.
