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 tense, methodical journey through ancient warfare where every choice and battle carries the weight of permanent consequences.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the writing and historical accuracy, while others call it an incomplete product with a repetitive loop and little real choice until you grind meta-progress.
