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-burning, deeply tactical wargame where every move demands careful planning and the battlefield feels unforgivingly authentic.

What players say

Players praise the tactical simulation but complain about a camera-freeze crash, a dated interface, and the high price. The game is seen as fun when it works, though finding multiplayer games requires third-party sites.
