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-burning, methodical grand strategy game where you orchestrate global war through careful planning and turn-based decision-making.

What players say

Players praise the strategic depth and replayability, though they split on the AI's balance: some find it unrealistic and too powerful, others say it challenges your thinking. Long-time fans highlight strong developer support, a helpful multiplayer community, and the lack of unit stacking as a point of complaint.
