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 gritty, tactical real-time strategy game that immerses you in the brutal Eastern Front with flexible camera controls and a dynamic campaign.

What players say

Players praise it as the best modern Men of War-style game, with rewarding direct unit control and intense realism. However, they split on the AI: some call it brain dead and note pathfinding issues, while others accept it for the depth. Performance is demanding and content updates are slow but steady.
