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 nostalgic turn-based colony management game where you carefully build and command ant armies with methodical strategy.

What players say
Players praise the depth and complexity of this ant-themed strategy game, especially its research trees and realistic species. However, many warn about a deal-breaking lack of resolution options that makes the game unplayable on 4K monitors, and the developer confirmed no support for that.
