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, methodical wargame that asks you to move units across a map with deliberate caution, balancing infantry, armor, and static defenses while managing event cards in a quietly tense historical context.

What players say

Players praise the historical accuracy and the five scenarios covering major Pacific island battles. The card system adds replay value, but learning the game is tough with no manual and only brief tutorial videos. Opinions split on AI fairness, with some calling it challenging and others claiming the Japanese side cheats.
