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 frantic, comedic race to conquer territory and crush opponents in a classic real-time strategy that feels like a fast, humorous battle for dominance.

What players say

Players say this 1990s RTS is a classic with momentum-based gameplay that rewards map control. However, the 2014 port feels sluggish and its pixel art filtering is widely disliked, with some recommending the original DOS version instead.
