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

Old-school turn-based tactics that prioritizes fast, action-packed battles over cover mechanics, set on a mysterious alien planet with a desperate team of fighters.

What players say

Players praise it as a light, casual turn-based tactics game with tight mission structure and optional challenges. Many mention the ammo system is limiting and the economy forces grinding, with several suggesting cheating credits to skip it. Some feel levels play like scripted puzzles rather than freeform strategy.
