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 constantly moving strategic battle where you juggle economy, alliances, and nuclear threats against hundreds of other players in real time.

What players say

Players say it started as a free browser game and the Steam version offers little beyond cosmetics and no ads, so many suggest playing in browser instead. Matches are quick compared to games like Hearts of Iron, easy to learn but hard to master, and the AI still kills newcomers. Players report hackers and performance issues on large maps, and some want workshop maps and achievements added.
