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 stylized, cartoon-colored real-time strategy game that feels like a playful simulation of WWII battles with a focus on tactical and micro-managed combat.

What players say

Players praise the game's potential but criticize its punishing first mission and the developer abandoning it. The game is a tactical WWII RTS without base building, requiring precise micro and limited resources. Some find the control innovations clever, while others call the controls clunky. Players are frustrated by the lack of cloud saves and the inability to play offline.
