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 minimalist and tactical turn-based wargame where you command outnumbered forces across a dystopian America, with adjustable AI aggression adding tension.

What players say

Players praise the asymmetric turn-based strategy as a faithful adaptation of tabletop COIN games, with simple mechanics that create complex tactical situations and a strong dystopian lore. They are split on the interface: some find it intuitive, while others struggle with unclear terms and controls. Many say it is best with multiplayer, as the AI gets dull in single player.
