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 deliberate, system-driven strategy game focused on managing a mercenary mech squad through turn-based combat and resource optimization in a randomized world.

What players say

Players describe it as a light, fun mix of Into the Breach and Battletech with clean art and a synthy soundtrack. Many say it is too short, around 4 to 7 hours, and bug-ridden: save files corrupt, Unity crashes, and credits glitch. Reviews split on whether the bugs ruin it or the low price makes it worthwhile.
