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

Commanding massive armies in deliberate, high-stakes battles with a slow-burn intensity and a sense of overwhelming scale.

What players say

Players call it a classic RTS that was ahead of its time. They praise the strategic base-building and challenge, but some report frequent crashing that requires constant saving. The campaign is described as short.
