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 methodical and strategic rock-paper-scissors war game played on a hex grid where capturing buildings and adapting to terrain and weather is key.

What players say

Players compare it to Advance Wars, with simple Minecraft-style graphics and rock-paper-scissors combat. The AI is solid but the maps are unbalanced in favor of the blue player, and there is no map editor or multiplayer. The game is in early access through 2017 with frequent patches from an engaged developer, but some reviews say it gets old quickly.
