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 and historically grounded turn-based wargame where you direct WWII campaigns across varied theatres, weighing tactical choices against weather and terrain.

What players say

Players praise the historical detail and unit customization but are split on the overall design. Some find it a satisfying operational wargame with big campaigns, while others criticize scripted triggers that spawn enemies anywhere, poor balance, cluttered UI, and terrible voice acting. A few report game-crashing bugs that remain unfixed.
