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

You manage global tension from a retro terminal, balancing arms races and disarmament under the shadow of mutually assured destruction.

What players say

Players are split on this cold war strategy game. Some praise its unique feel and depth, while many others call it unfinished, with spelling errors, memory leaks, and a too-simple combat system. Comparisons to Twilight Struggle keep coming up, but bugs and a dead multiplayer scene disappoint.
