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 tug-of-war strategy game where you directly control units, mine resources, and build an army in real time.

What players say

Players are split on Prototypers. Some praise its arcade-style RTS action and swarm mechanics, others call it unplayable due to poor AI balance, no base customization, and no tutorial. The game is described as repetitive, with a few missions that play the same way.
