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 deliberate, turn-based tactical wargame with hex grids, offering methodical, long-form strategic campaigns.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to the Battle Isle series, with a slow, methodical pace and fog-of-war that punishes mistakes. Multiplayer has been broken since 2020, and the AI is widely considered too weak, though single-player is praised as challenging but fair.
