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 turn-based tactical wargame that plays out platoon-level combat with cinematic firefights and impulse-driven mechanics.

What players say

Players praise the board game port for its solid mechanics and easy learning curve, but nearly all agree the AI is unplayably bad, especially on offense. The game has been abandoned by its developers despite promises of fixes, so many warn against buying it. Multiplayer was planned but never delivered.
