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 tactical action RPG where you lead large-scale battles, conquer bases, and loot across open fantasy worlds with diverse weapon classes.

What players say

Players enjoy the large-scale battlefield feel of fighting bots over bases, comparing it to PvP MMOs without the toxicity. However, there is only one map, no save function, and matches last 45–75 minutes, which some find too long for quick sessions.
