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 deliberate and tactical turn-based strategy game about managing technology and building giant mechs to fight machines in a tense wartime economy.

What players say

Players describe a modest turn-based tactical game about mechs that mixes X-Com and Battletech ideas on tiny battlefields. Opinions split on polish: some praise the physics-based combat and research options, others say it launched without basic quality-of-life features like camera rotation and a load button, though updates have addressed some complaints.
