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 mech battle game where positioning and special abilities decide clashes, with flashy animations inspired by 90s anime.

What players say

Players compare it to Advance Wars and Panzer General, but find the missions repetitive and the enemy relies on endless unit spam. The UI is clunky, the AI is simplistic, and multiplayer is empty. A map editor is a highlight for some, but bugs and a lack of polish turn away many.
