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 strategic, turn-based battle where every careful unit placement and hero recruitment feels like a grim chess match against an undead tide.

What players say

Players call this a very short, simple turn-based strategy game that feels designed for mobile. The campaign can be finished in about three hours, and while it has a map editor and hot-seat multiplayer, tactical depth is low and it's often compared unfavorably to the free game Battle for Wesnoth. Opinions split on whether the low price justifies the shallow content.
