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 desperate struggle to rebuild civilization against overwhelming mechanical hordes, balancing base management with large-scale military tactics.

What players say

Players call it a mix of They Are Billions, Factorio, and classic Settlers. They praise the enormous global map and the depth of building supply lines, but note it still has UI bugs, pathfinding issues, and performance slowdowns with large armies. A few criticize the lack of depth in base building and difficulty scaling.
