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 slow, deliberate wargame where careful planning and unit activation create a tense, historically grounded tactical puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the historical accuracy and tight scenarios that come down to the wire, but many complain about the bad UI with no tooltips. Some report bugs with support cards not activating properly, especially for the Republican side.
