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

You carefully guide a tank crew through a gritty, randomized campaign where every decision feels weighty and losses are permanent.

What players say

Players praise the gameplay-over-graphics approach and find it surprisingly engaging, especially on Steam Deck or older hardware. Some say the difficulty drops after the first dozen days in a campaign, and there are common complaints about the d100 system.
