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.

What players say

Players compare it to Running with Rifles and Foxhole, praising the large-scale 2D battles with squad tactics and suppression mechanics, but say it needs more polish and is still rough around the edges. Some players note enemy numbers feel overwhelming and AI shoots instantly, while a few point out achievements are bugged and there is no workshop support yet.
