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 quick and straightforward real-time strategy game where you hop into small, randomly generated battles with friends, prioritizing fun over complexity.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple, fast RTS matches that last about 30 minutes, but warn the multiplayer is dead and unplayable without a friend. Fans call it easy to learn and fun with a partner, while critics note the lack of players and the need for a tutorial.
