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

Feels like commanding a chaotic war machine without getting bogged down by micromanagement, with quick, punchy battles that reward strategic thinking over twitch reflexes.

What players say

Players call it a polished modern take on old Flash games like Armor Alley, fun in short bursts though the campaign is short. Some wish for more content and multiplayer, and a minority finds the AI unfairly difficult even on easy.
