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 deliberately paced, squad-focused military shooter that demands coordination and suppression to secure objectives on painstakingly recreated WWII battlefields.

What players say

Players say the game has solid mechanics and good visuals for a small team's project, but the multiplayer servers are empty, making it unplayable without joining scheduled community events. Few people play, and development has been very slow.
