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 deliberate, chess-like tactical puzzle where you command a single mech against a small army, with contextual actions and random level layouts.

What players say

Players appreciate the simple but strategic turn-based mech combat, with a chess-like depth. Reviews split on the visuals, with some calling them charming and others terrible. The game is in early access, and some players note it currently feels simple but shows promise.
