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 and grim real-time strategy game set in the trenches of World War I, emphasizing tactical positioning and resource management over fast-paced action.

What players say

Players praise the historical accuracy and WW1 atmosphere, but nearly all agree development stopped shortly after release, leaving the game with repetitive battles, clunky AI, and missing features. Many recommend buying only on a deep sale.
