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 classic real-time strategy game that feels fast, tactical, and tension-filled as you command armies and outwit opponents.

What players say

Players call it a classic RTS that holds up for its campaign and skirmish modes, with a famously good soundtrack, but warn about dated and ugly graphics, pathfinding problems, and buggy cutscenes.
