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 manage a sprawling machine empire through territory control and economic optimization in a post-organic galaxy.

What players say
Players describe After the Empire as an automated 4X game that boils down to choosing war targets while the computer handles the rest. Many warn the tutorial is weak and the tiny font unreadable at high resolutions, a bug the developer has left unfixed. Those who push through find a clever, hard-to-master strategy game that shines in its weekly competitions.
