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

Managing troops and defenses in brutal trench warfare feels tense and strategic, with a punishing difficulty that demands careful balancing of offense and defense.

What players say

Players enjoy this stickman WWI strategy game for its nostalgia and simple fun, but they note the machine gunner is underpowered, tanks are too fragile, and replayability is low. The developer is praised for listening, though some players want multiplayer, Italy, and air support.
