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 strategy game where controlling a powerful but indirectly guided unit adds a puzzle-like layer to base-claim and resource raids.

What players say

Players compare it to Creeper World but say the controls and camera are awkward and get in the way. Opinions split: some praise the amount of content and tactical variety from two factions, while others find the steering mechanics frustrating enough to quit.
