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 quick, competitive RTS where you rush to gather resources and outmaneuver opponents on cute procedurally generated circle maps.

What players say

Players call this a simple, fun RTS with many units and heroes across several game modes. There is no campaign, but the low price and pick-up-and-play nature make it easy to waste hours. Some note the player base is small in 2025.
