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 tactical turn-based game where careful planning and unit customization drive quick-fire, challenging battles.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but find the core gameplay shallow, with your only real input being initial unit placement. Many get stuck at mid-game levels like Labyrinth and Lost, which are widely considered unfairly hard.
