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.

What players say

Players say it is a flawed attempt to turn the roguelike Battlevoid into a real-time strategy. Some find it boring and clunky, especially after the predecessor Harbinger, but others say it becomes fun once you get past the steep learning curve. Reviews split on whether the balance of upgrades and research is broken or just needs patience.
