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 strategy game that blends historical WWI battles with board-game-inspired arcade-style gameplay.

What players say

This remake of History Line 1914-1918 has decent hex-based strategy, but a game-breaking bug on the German campaign makes it impossible to finish. Players report missing combat predictions, bad AI that rushes blindly, and other bugs like unit disappearance and freezing.
