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 hectic, retro-infused blend of first-person tank combat and real-time strategy that keeps you constantly moving, building, and blasting enemies across desolate alien landscapes.

What players say

Players love the unique blend of first-person shooting and real-time strategy, but they split on the controls, some report broken rotation and unbindable keys, while others find the mix works well. The campaign is considered very hard even on easy, and the gameplay feels dated.
