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 casual but spicy strategy-action game where you quickly build factories and command minions to destroy enemy bases.

What players say

Players describe it as an arcade RTS with a short tutorial-like campaign and a unique economy where you earn resources by destroying enemy units. The combat is fast and chaotic, and local multiplayer is a highlight. Some players find the controls unresponsive and note that replayability is limited.
