About the game

Your subjects are dumpster cats. Your kingdom is an abandoned building in a human city. Your reign is threatened by dogs, fleas, collar bells, bad valerian harvests, fish-bone fortunes — and your own terrible decisions.

Original Steam description

Catriarch is a choice-driven card roguelike about ruling as a cat king in an abandoned building in a modern human city.

Each turn brings an event card and two choices. Your decisions change four core resources: Wealth, War, People, and the king’s Health. If any resource gets too low or too high, your reign ends.

Each reign is one run. When a king dies, a new one takes the throne, bringing new events, story paths, and endings to discover.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

  • Meet your questionable court — from noble cats and foreign envoys to living nightmares and Death itself.

  • Earn the title you deserve. Your subjects have words for great kings. They have even more for terrible ones.

  • Dismiss nobles with a single royal paw swipe. They take their future events with them.

  • Die according to your mistakes. Go broke, lose your subjects, ruin your health, or let military power get out of hand — each kind of collapse has its own endings.

  • Earn achievements and break records. Every Catriarch deserves something to brag about.

  • Dead Catriarch? Crown the next one. The king is dead — long live the king.
