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, methodical wargame where you command troops across hexagonal battlefields with old-school tactical precision.

What players say

Players praise the huge number of scenarios and authentic unit details, but the game is divisive: some love the quick 10-minute RTS skirmishes, while others wish it were turn-based and say the UI and sluggish controls hurt the experience. Reviews split on whether the brevity is a plus or a missed opportunity.
