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

Strategic turn-based dungeon crawling where every move carries weight and cooperation is key to surviving a relentless fantasy world.

What players say

Players are split on whether For The King II improves on the first game. Many praise the jump to four-player co-op and say it shines with friends, but the UI and menu design draw heavy criticism. Some find the solo experience tedious and the early hours punishing until you adapt, while others note the game has improved since launch.
