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 turn-based strategy game with retro pixel art, blending tactical mech combat and grand-scale fleet management.

What players say

Players praise the variety of factions and pixel art, but many find the interface clunky and the tactical battles repetitive. The AI is seen as cheating with perfect knowledge, though some exploit its predictability. A mixed recommendation unless on sale.
