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 methodically design, produce, and sell tanks across eras, shaping history through business and engineering decisions.

What players say

Players report that development slowed to a crawl and the game feels abandoned, with the dev team focusing on mod support instead of finishing the road map. The research tree is on rails and offers no meaningful variation, and the promise of tank combat is absent, replaced by a simple popup. Reviews are split on whether the core design is fun despite the lack of updates.
