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 fast-paced economic struggle where you feel the pressure of market dominance through strategic resource management and corporate rivalry on Mars.

What players say

Players call it a unique RTS that replaces combat with business and stock market mechanics. The learning curve is steep and the game can feel repetitive, but it remains well balanced and fun for those who stick with it.
