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 relaxed, atmospheric real-time strategy game about controlling microorganisms, with gentle pacing, colorful 2D visuals, and a focus on tactical freedom in a calm microcosm.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, casual RTS reminiscent of old Flash games like Phage Wars. Many find it relaxing and addictive for a few hours, but the campaign gets monotonous, controls are clunky, and there is little replay value.
