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 grand strategic simulation that feels like a meticulous board game adaptation, demanding careful planning and patience.

What players say

Players call this a faithful digital version of the board game War and Peace, but many are frustrated that there is no grand campaign against the AI, only multiplayer or solitaire. The interface is often unintuitive and sluggish, with some reporting unresponsive unit movement.
