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 tactical strategy game where commanding large demon armies against human foes feels systematic and methodical.

What players say

Players enjoy the spectacle of massive real-time battles with up to 10,000 units and deep unit customization, but note the game has almost no story and becomes repetitive because every fight's only goal is killing the enemy commander. The fast three-minute rounds are praised for quick sessions, though the need to repeatedly upgrade units can feel grindy.
