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
You play as an ordinary medieval soldier thrust into a brutal rebellion, navigating turn-based tactical battles and morally weighty choices in a grim historical setting.

What players say
Players are split on this free prequel to Heads Will Roll: Reforged. Many praise its gritty medieval storytelling and roguelite character progression, but a common complaint is an unfair difficulty spike in Chapter 3, even on normal mode, with heavy reliance on RNG that can decide battles regardless of player skill. Some also report poorly explained stats and mechanics.
