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 tactical trek through hostile, procedurally unfolding territory where careful positioning and loot management decide your squad's fate

What players say

Players call it a fun but simple side-scrolling turn-based strategy game with procedurally generated maps and a tank section. It is compared to XCOM, though some find it more puzzle-like. The game is in early access with active updates from a single developer, and players are eager for more content.
