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 fast-paced board game-like battle where strategic unit placement and twitch shooting skill mix in a colorful, old-school arena.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on the classic Archon, with diverse unit types in a turn-based tactical arena. Combat is janky but fun, though the multiplayer function is broken and the game lacks a manual.
