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 slow, methodical turn-based wargame where careful supply cutting and positional play create tense, deliberate battles

What players say

Players praise the supply system and unit commanders but are split on whether the rough edges are worth enduring. Many call it a true Panzer General homage with deeper mechanics, yet the UI, lack of tutorial, and frequent crashes frustrate even veteran wargamers. The developer is responsive but progress is slow, leaving some to recommend Hex of Steel instead.
