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 turn-based aerial strategy game where you plan moves and manage pilot upgrades over historic WWII Pacific battles.

What players say

Players enjoy the turn-based dogfighting for a few hours but find it repetitive compared to the first game. The damage system feels inconsistent and Windows compatibility issues require running in XP mode.
