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 deceptively cute but unforgiving turn-based strategy game where careful positioning and emergent ability combos are key to victory.

What players say

Players describe Microgons as chess with monsters and health bars, praising its aesthetic and strategic gameplay. However, nearly everyone agrees the multiplayer is dead and the servers no longer function, making the game unplayable as intended.
