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 quick, strategic fantasy skirmish where you choose a class, buy items in seconds, and fight in short rounds of team deathmatch or defend objectives with bots or online players.

What players say

Players say the game lacks a tutorial and feels confusing at first, but those who push through find a promising indie title with interesting mechanics. Development appears to have stalled since early access, and the controls need polish, especially for controller support.
