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 gritty, tactical historical survival game where every decision about diplomacy, resources, and combat shapes your expedition's fate in a harsh New World.

What players say

Players praise the setting and the weight of moral choices, but opinions split on the execution. Many find the exploration tedious and resource management a slog, while the turn-based combat is solid but ranged units feel unreliable. The movement and camera systems draw frequent criticism for being clunky.
