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 tense, turn-based political drama where careful resource allocation and diplomatic maneuvering decide the fate of a kingdom.

What players say
Players praise Court of Ashes for its engaging worldbuilding and strategic elements, though many note the short 2-3 hour runtime. The game offers five character perspectives for replayability, but some find the story and choices too similar between runs. Players are split on difficulty, with some finding combat too easy and others struggling with unclear council meeting timing.
