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 methodical, turn-based strategy game where you carefully pilot custom mechs against alien swarms, each move requiring precise positioning and loadout decisions to avoid attrition.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth, often comparing it to chess and Into the Breach, but agree the campaign is short and replay value runs out after about 20 hours. The base price feels high for the content, so most recommend buying on sale. Some note missing features like a range overlay and unclear saves.
