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 methodical, turn-based strategy game set in a dark fantasy world, with a classic, nostalgic feel and a rich soundtrack.

What players say

Players say it is the best of the Disciples series, but only after modding and buying the GOG version. The game feels grim and ugly in a way that fits the dark fantasy, though unbalanced and lacking content without mods.
