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-burn feudal power struggle where you navigate clan politics and lead tactical turn-based battles.

What players say

Players say this stand-alone expansion shifts away from the story-driven style of the original toward a sandbox with repetitive whack-a-mole fights. Enemies respawn endlessly, making castle defense feel pointless, and the balance is off. The game is buggy, the ending disappoints, and some players dislike the political references.
