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 strategy game where you carefully spawn and upgrade pawns to outmaneuver an opponent and destroy their crystal.

What players say

Players say Tactical Mind is a tough but fun puzzle game with simple rules and a steep difficulty curve, especially against the normal AI. Opinions split on visuals and longevity: some call the graphics minimalist and phoned-in, while others appreciate the clean look. Many agree the game is more enjoyable with a second player, as solo play can get boring after a few hours.
