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 fast-paced, top-down strategy game where you command troops and coordinate battle plans in real-time and turn-based hybrid gameplay.

What players say

Players say the simplified block-based visuals and abstract command system are interesting in concept, but the execution falls flat. Many report the UI is broken or missing entirely, and the game punishes minor mistakes instead of rewarding good decisions.
