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
Managing a gladiator school in a harsh, unforgiving world with tactical turn-based combat and constant pressure to maintain resources.

What players say
Players manage a ludus and train gladiators, drawing comparisons to Domina and Sword and Sandals. The game is fun but grindy and repetitive, with combat that can get tedious and a story delivered in a fragmented way. Players praise the developer for returning after a long silence to push the game to 1.0, but note it still feels unpolished.
