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 lighthearted sandbox where you place weapons on battlefields across history to watch chaotic skirmishes unfold.

What players say

Players describe Make War as a strategy puzzle more than a traditional RTS, with battles resolving automatically and players placing units like towers. The game is widely considered abandoned by its developer with no updates for years, and while some enjoy the challenge, others find it frustratingly difficult and repetitive.
