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.

What players say

Players call this a simple, gridless tactical RPG that feels like a tabletop wargame. Combat is straightforward but fights can feel unfair, with complaints about useless archers and forced party compositions. Some praise the necromancy campaign, while others say humans are dull and the story is generic. A few warn the developer bans users for criticism.
