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

Playing feels like juggling turn-based empire management, real-time dragon combat, and absurdly funny political debates all at once.

What players say

Players praise the political decision-making and role-playing elements but criticize the real-time strategy battles as boring or weak, with many choosing to auto-resolve. The campaign is short, about 8 hours, and some mention crashes.
