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, tense push through gritty WWII battlefields where every advance feels hard-won against increasingly desperate defenders.

What players say

Players liken it to Codename Panzers but find it simpler and less polished than Blitzkrieg or Sudden Strike. The campaign lets you play as Germany, though crashes and the lack of widescreen hold the experience back.
