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 frenetic, old-school action RTS with fast building and combat, set to techno music on a sandy planet.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to 90s RTS games like Dune II and Paranoia, with a fast pace and a simple, nostalgic feel. Many praise the music and atmosphere, but players are split on difficulty, some find it satisfying, others call it poorly balanced. Multiplayer lacks bots and has desync problems.
