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 hectic mix of base-building and third-person mech combat where you constantly shift between commanding troops and fighting directly.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious hybrid of RTS and FPS with a transforming mech dinosaur, but nearly all say development was abandoned and the game feels unfinished. The pathfinding is broken, the FPS mode is basic, and there are only two factions with limited units.
