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 classic real-time strategy experience that demands careful resource management, tactical planning, and methodical base building.

What players say

Players say it is an unapologetic StarCraft clone with a campaign that starts slow and spikes in difficulty around mission three. The balance is rough and some missions feel unfairly hard, though several players still find it fun despite the lack of polish.
