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 methodical turn-based alien defense game where you carefully manage research, production, and tactical squad deployment against escalating extraterrestrial threats.

What players say

Players split: some enjoy it as a faithful XCOM homage with new aliens and mortars, others report game-breaking bugs like crashes when using items, research stalling, and aliens shooting through walls. The new anime-style soldier portraits are widely disliked.
