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, historically grounded tank simulation that focuses on authentic combat and the grim reality of war.

What players say

Players say the sim itself is the best Eastern Front tank game around, but getting it to run on modern Windows is a chore. The controls and interface are widely criticized as janky and hard to configure, and the game has no multiplayer. Most agree mods are essential to make it playable.
