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 slow, cerebral strategy game where careful planning and diplomatic maneuvering are as important as military might.

What players say

Players are split: some see unique political and espionage mechanics, but most call it a generic RTS with a shallow GoT skin. The campaign is slow and boring, only 4% finish it, and skirmish mode is dull. Multiplayer is dead, the AI is predictable, and technical issues like freezes are common.
