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 real-time tactical game where you carefully assemble and command combined-arms military units in modern conflict scenarios.

What players say

Players praise the concept and developer responsiveness, but the game faces a critical problem: it is strictly multiplayer with no solo mode or bots, and the small player base makes matches impossible to find. Early access shows promise with regular updates, though reviewers warn the current state is very bare.
