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

A meticulous turn-based grand strategy game set in an unforgiving ancient world where mythological tales and ruthless politics shape every decision.

What players say

Players praise the deep diplomacy, economic planning, and AI that coordinates attacks, but note the presentation is bare-bones and the UI can be clunky. The game is relentlessly demanding, with some finding the pressure excessive and others calling it an uphill grind. Players are split on DLC content, with one reporting a game-breaking bug in the Britain scenario.
