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 deliberate and historically grounded turn-based wargame that simulates the slow, grinding attrition of a pivotal World War II island campaign.

What players say

Players praise the historical feel and challenging grind, but note a clunky UI and thin manual. The AI has issues, especially the US side looping in the sea, and playing Japan feels boring due to limited options.
