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

An open-world action game where you explore ancient Babylonian cities and engage in destruction and combat, with a focus on historical and archaeological accuracy.

What players say

Players say Ilum is a passion project with a remarkably detailed historical world, but it is a hard sell due to clunky controls and a lot of walking. Graphics and optimization draw complaints, while the scale and atmosphere earn praise.
