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

You methodically command forces across a vast hex map, feeling the weight of historical events as you plan each turn.

What players say

Players praise the game's balance of complexity and accessibility, calling it a good middle ground between deep simulations and light strategy. Many note flawed naval mechanics and historical inaccuracies, especially in the Japanese order of battle, while others appreciate the authentic pressure of playing as Japan against inevitable US industrial might.
