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, deliberate simulation of managing a superpower's decline through political and economic micromanagement.

What players say
Players praise the depth and alternate history possibilities but warn that the economy can suddenly collapse, mechanics are opaque even after tutorials, and the interface frustrates. Many compare it to Suzerain and note it is harder than most strategy games. A few players find the randomness unfair.
