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 fast, stressful, and dynamic real-time strategy game that feels like classic Dune 2 and Z, with balanced units and tactical elements like elevation bonuses and special abilities.

What players say

Players describe it as a bare-bones RTS that apes Dune 2. It has ten campaign missions, no options menu, and the music is so loud it can't be turned down. There is no multiplayer or free mode. Most call it fun for the dollar it costs, but a few feel it is unfinished.
