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, historically grounded real-time strategy game where careful troop positioning and battlefield awareness determine the outcome of large-scale, hours-long engagements.

What players say
Players are split on this game. Many complain units refuse orders and the AI feels unfair, especially for the Union side. Others with hundreds of hours praise the tactical depth, army building, and campaign covering the full war, though it offers no tutorial and is punishing for beginners.
