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 tense, strategic real-time squad game where elemental chaos and family bonds push you through war-torn isles.

What players say

Players praise the core RTS-roguelike blend but are split on whether the grind and technical issues outweigh the fun. The slow meta-progression, clunky unit control, and punishing random events frustrate many, while others enjoy the strategic depth and art. Some warn that low player counts make future updates unlikely.
