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 slow-burn strategy game where every decision weighs morality against survival in a tense historical setting.

What players say

Players say the developers abandoned the game mid-development, leaving it unfinished. It copies We, the Revolution but offers very little content and poor replayability. Many are angry and warn others not to buy.
