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 methodical turn-based war game that feels like commanding troops on a historical battlefield with careful positioning and planning.

What players say

Players appreciate the game's simple hex-based tactical combat and historical flavor, but many agree its American victory conditions are too hard. Several report bugs and missing sound effects, and opinions split on whether it's worth the price.
