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.

About

Originally planned for a Q2 2007 release, the game was announced as a version of Warlords 2 for the Nintendo DS. It was silently cancelled after the publisher, Strategy First, dropped the game and the developer was unable to find another publisher. News about the game was removed from the publisher's site after it missed its release window and included their other DS projects for Jagged Alliance and Disciples II. Warlords DS is an eight player turn-based strategy game of conquest and empire. Different worlds provide a stage for the player to excel in combat. In the quest for final victory, gamers can assemble vast armies, conquer and loot mighty cities, undertake perilous quests, make and break alliances, and wield magical artifacts of great power. Although economics, diplomacy, and exploration weigh heavily in the outcome of each game, the primary emphasis is placed on combat.
