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 tense tactical struggle commanding mythological heroes and monsters through bloody, god-driven battles.

What players say

Players call it a deep but unforgiving RTS-RPG hybrid from the early 2000s, with permadeath for heroes and named units who refuse to die for nothing. Some report game-breaking bugs like missing save functionality and broken quest timers that made progress impossible.
