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 stripped-down, accessible strategy game where you commanding dots in quick battles feels light and focused, not intense or deep.

What players say

Players enjoy the quick, polished strategy matches that fit into a busy schedule, often comparing it to a streamlined Hearts of Iron IV. However, some note that the best tactic is to do nothing, and others report buggy keyboard controls and repeated pop-up prompts.
