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

You bark orders into a microphone, piecing together a chaotic battle from the crackling, uncertain voices of your troops, feeling the pressure of command in a command tent.

What players say

Players praise the unique fog-of-war concept and Canadian history focus, but voice recognition is widely broken. Difficulty varies from easy to punishing, and unit pathfinding sometimes frustrates. The last missions feel overwhelming for some.
