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 lighthearted turn-based strategy game set in a whimsical forest where animals and insects battle for supremacy.

What players say

Players appreciate the cute woodland animal theme and hex-based combat, but the campaign is short and several report bugs, crashes, and an unnecessary online requirement for single-player. The gameplay feels simplistic and limited in unit options.
