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

You command a god and nation in a slow, deeply complex turn-based war of attrition where every decision matters and victory comes from careful planning over many hours.

What players say

Players praise the immense depth, with thousands of spells and countless factions, but warn that the game has no tutorial, a messy interface, and graphics that look two decades old. They are split on the developer's pricing, calling successive versions minor updates sold as full new games.
