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 slow, methodical simulation where you carefully restore rusted wartime wrecks to their former glory, enjoying the tactile click of tools and the quiet satisfaction of a machine roaring back to life.

What players say

Players love the relaxing pace of restoring tanks and find it addictive, but many say the tutorial is broken and the developers abandoned promised updates from the 2022-2024 roadmap. The level of detail is inconsistent between tanks, and some find the extraction missions dull.
