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, deliberate tactical wargame where careful planning and ammunition management feel as important as direct combat.

What players say

Players praise this wargame's real-time tactical depth and persistent campaign where units gain experience across missions. Many compare it favorably to Command Ops, noting its less complex controls. However, the interface is widely described as clunky and sluggish, with no tutorial, and performance can be poor even on strong hardware. The developer is responsive and improving the game over time.
