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 methodical tactical RPG where careful positioning and turn planning drive a multi-sided fantasy conflict.

What players say

Players praise the story's political tension and meaningful choices, but many feel the ending is rushed and leaves plot threads unresolved. Combat is quick and beginner-friendly, yet veterans say it lacks strategic depth due to no zone of control and overpowered ranged units. The protagonist is widely considered weak and often outshone by other characters.
