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 tense, tactical trek through dangerous wastelands where careful squad management and terrain awareness are key to survival.

What players say

Players describe it as a short tactical puzzle where you move a squad on a 3x3 grid through environmental hazards. The art and music get praise, but the core loop is simple: each turn you move one character and everyone advances. If your whole party dies, you restart from the beginning.
