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 physics-driven real-time strategy game where designing your own units feels tense and deliberate as you command warring machines.

What players say

Players say development stalled and the game was left unfinished after leaving early access. The custom unit building is praised, but limited resources and clunky controls frustrate, and performance problems like stuttering are common. Multiplayer appears dead, and the developer has moved on to a sequel.
