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-burn, strategic clash of fantasy armies where each move feels weighted and deliberate.

What players say

Players call it a faithful revival of the 1998 classic Brigandine, with nearly identical mechanics and improved graphics. Combat is slow and requires moving many units individually, with poor keyboard controls. The story is considered weak and routes overlap, but fans praise the strategic hex-based battles and beautiful character portraits.
