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

Playing feels like commanding a tank crew in a methodical, tense, and historically grounded battle where every movement and supply decision matters.

What players say

Players call this a hardcore tank simulator, not an arcade shooter. It focuses on two Cold War tanks, the M60 and T-62, with detailed interiors and a mix of direct tank control and a strategic map. Some players say the AI is unrealistically accurate at long range, and several note the limited number of tank missions and lack of mod support.
