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 pilot a massive carrier from a first-person bridge, making deliberate tactical decisions while managing resources and coordinating vehicles to capture enemy islands.

What players say

Players are split on the pacing. Some call it a waiting simulator due to slow supply barges, while others say that logistics is the whole point. Most agree it is complex and punishing alone but shines with friends, and mods can fix the parts you do not like.
