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, retro fantasy wargame where you command armies and heroes across a large map in turn-based tactical combat.

What players say

Players praise the simple rules and deep strategy, calling it addictive like a fantasy Risk. The game is considered clunky and simplistic by modern standards, but veterans say it holds up well for retro fans. Some report crashes, and the launcher can be confusing about which game it starts.
