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 charming yet darkly humorous mix of breeding cute beetles with real-time tactical battles and base-building.

What players say
Players are sharply divided on Beetle Uprising. Some love the genetic breeding and cozy beetle care, comparing it favorably to Empires of the Undergrowth. Others expected an RTS but found a daycare sim for bugs, with a terrible tutorial that leaves you guessing, a confusing UI, and repetitive progression.
