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 text-heavy medieval political simulator where absurd dark comedy drives your power plays and marital schemes.

What players say

Players call it a short, comedic adventure game in the style of old-school Ultima but with no combat. It is more linear than the sandbox it appears, focused on solving puzzles to outspend a rival. Many enjoy the humor of marrying objects or executing a pile of poop, but some find the fun wears thin once the novelty fades.
