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 tense, methodical tactical RTS where you command fragile squads through brutally realistic WWII missions, with a grim, historical weight and constant pressure from limited resources and overwhelming odds.

What players say

Players praise the penal battalion premise that forces you to scavenge gear from enemies, making every mission tense. Some note it has too few missions, while one reviewer warns a early trench mission is bugged and blocks progress.
