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 modern military strategy game that feels methodical and tactical, with an emphasis on unscripted gameplay.

What players say

Players split after the anniversary patch of 2026, with many long-time fans turning negative. They say the public test server changes were largely dropped, tank damage was nerfed, and balance updates feel arbitrary. Others praise the core combat but cite stability problems like desync and crashes, along with missing single-player saves.
