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

Gordian Quest feels like a methodical and tense strategic journey where every decision in deckbuilding and party management carries weight against a backdrop of corruption and danger.

What players say

Players praise the deep deck building and character customization, with many viable builds and gear options. However, they warn that luck and grinding are central to progression, and some UI frustrations like missing item comparisons persist in later versions.
