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 quick, tactical brawl where you frantically gather resources and defend your king in short, lighthearted matches.

What players say

Players describe it as a compact, bite-sized RTS that is fun but has issues. The early game is painfully slow even on 2x speed, and controls like selecting the king or buildings under units are clunky. Players split on depth, with some finding it too simplistic for the genre and others enjoying the streamlined design and replayability.
