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 deliberate, turn-based wargame of commanding military units across a hex-grid map.

What players say

Players compare it to board wargames like Battle of the Bulge and Drive on Moscow, praising the streamlined rules and quick play. Some note limited unit variety and a single map with changing scenarios. There is no tutorial, just text, and while the AI attempts flanking moves it also makes suicidal attacks. A few reviews mention the developer being rude to feedback.
