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 slow-burn grand strategy where you manage supply lines, seasons, and territorial expansion across a satellite-accurate map, demanding patience and careful planning.

What players say
Players praise the strategic supply line system and fixed gold economy, but are divided on pacing: some find it relaxing while others criticize long travel times and no speed-up. Many see it as a cult classic that deserved better reviews, though late-game sandbox can become repetitive and performance lags.
