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 tense, tactical real-time strategy game where voice commands and army management feel like commanding forces in a large-scale global war.

What players say

Players praise the unique unit-level camera and voice commands, but many say the PC port has poor controls and recognition. The rock-paper-scissors combat feels simple, and high-difficulty AI is noticeably unfair. Fans are split on whether the outdated design is charming or frustrating, but all agree the game deserves a remaster or sequel.
