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

You direct a relentless, comically dysfunctional bug horde in a low-stakes strategic brawl against escalating human resistance.

What players say

Players enjoy playing as the relentless swarm against human defenders, with simple but addictive RTS-lite mechanics that require little micro. The campaign is short and fun, though some find it repetitive by the end, and the tutorial is widely called broken. Opinions are split on full price value, but most agree it is a steal on sale.
