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 free indie strategy game played in asynchronous turns over days, feeling like a slow correspondence match.

What players say

Players describe a free turn-based tactics game focused on asynchronous 1v1 multiplayer, where you plan three moves ahead against an opponent. The biggest complaint is a dead player population, making it impossible to find matches, though some enjoy the AI. It is compared to a lite version of Frozen Synapse, but lacks a single-player campaign.
