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 tactical strategy game with real-time battles you can pause to think, plus army management and map crafting.

What players say

Players praise the art style and core concept but are divided on execution. The heavy reliance on RNG and limited troop mobility frustrates, and manually setting up formations before each battle feels tedious. A few object to achievements referencing the Ukraine war. Many see promise but want more content and polish.
