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.

A free turn-based multiplayer game where you race to build a nuclear bomb while managing resources and sabotaging opponents.

What players say

Players are split on this free Cold War building sim: some appreciate the clean interface and tutorial, but many call the strategy rigid and the game feature-incomplete, with rounds that grow stale after one play. The multiplayer is reported as dead, leaving no one to play against.
