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 challenging turn-based tactical RPG with dark fantasy themes, a touch of humor, and a tense, strategic feel across story-driven campaigns.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth and competent AI, but warn that the graphics are dated and the UI is clunky. A divisive mechanic is that melee units with the berserker trait attack automatically, reducing direct control. The campaigns take about 30 hours and the developer is responsive on forums.
