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 tense and action-packed flight experience where you can dive into real-time dogfights while managing a persistent war strategy.

What players say

Players praise the blend of campaign management and hands-on dogfighting, calling it addictive for World War I history fans. But many report bugs, a poor user interface, and a lack of a tutorial, while the most common complaint is that the developer stopped supporting the game shortly after release.
