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, punishing turn-based tactical RPG where every decision matters and permadeath keeps tension high, with a dark fantasy tabletop wargame feel.

What players say

Players praise the deep turn-based combat and sense of humor, but note the graphics are dated. Multiple reviewers mention the developer backports features from later games and is active on forums. Some feel the game is priced as a standalone when it offers only two factions, making it feel like a faction pack.
