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 slow, meticulous grand strategy game where you command WWI armies across an enormous map, emphasizing careful planning and historical accuracy over fast action.

What players say

Players praise the gameplay and AI but note the graphics are dated and the UI is ancient. Many report that the game stopped working after an update, and some say the AI cheats by giving itself extra damage.
