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.

What players say

Players praise the turn-based tactics and alternate history WWI setting, but split on execution: some enjoy the challenge and developer support, while others call it unpolished with a clumsy UI, no camera rotation, and no save menu. Long-time players note updates through 2014.
