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 massive, persistent war where infantry, vehicle, and air combat demands coordination and skill across huge open-world continents.

What players say

Players say this once-incredible large-scale shooter peaked around 2012-2015. Now it suffers from persistent crashes, a dwindling playerbase, cheating problems, and a lack of meaningful updates, though the unique scale of its battles is still praised.
