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 turn-based tactical squad combat game focused on positioning, cover, and destroying objects without base-building interruptions.

What players say

Players say this is a straightforward turn-based tactics game from Wave Light, focused purely on squad combat with 12 classes and no base management. There is disagreement: some call it a welcome refinement, others a re-skin of older games. A few note the font is unreadable at 4K resolution.
