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 slow, meticulous tactical simulation where every decision carries weight amid the grim attrition of the Eastern Front.

What players say

Players praise the WEGO system and deep tactical simulation, but warn that the graphics are dated and the learning curve is steep. The Steam version modernizes the classic with widescreen and WASD camera support, though some report bugs with alt-tabbing and WASD on Windows 11.
