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 deliberate, retro-inspired strategy game where you manage planets, research tech, and command mech units in turn-based tactical combat.

What players say

Players see this as a prototype for the later Chaos Galaxy games, praising its pixel art and tactical battles but warning about a steep difficulty curve with no tutorial, heavy RNG, and a slow mouse-only interface. The campaign is short at about 8 hours, and many recommend the sequels for a more polished experience.
