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 strategy game where you command miniature forces, balancing base-building and resource management against an insectoid threat.

What players say

Players praise its fun, unique RTS take on tiny soldiers fighting giant bugs, but warn that development has stalled. The game gets comparisons to Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation, though newcomers struggle with a steep learning curve and no tutorial.
