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-to-play strategy game that feels like a casual, competitive base-building and raiding experience set in World War II.

What players say

Players report that the game resets their progress without warning, often after many hours. The developer has not updated or supported the game for years, and hackers freely reset accounts. Some find the gameplay fun, but almost everyone says the loss of progress makes it not worth starting.
