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, deliberate turn-based wargame where each decision carries weight and emotional resonance through a story-rich WWII campaign.

What players say

Players praise the novel blend of tactical wargame with moral leadership choices, but many struggle with a punishing tutorial and an abstract combat system that can feel illogical. The save system is widely criticized for being confusing.
