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 lighthearted but tactical turn-based wargame with cute anime visuals and procedurally generated battles where every choice can tip the balance between victory and defeat.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple Advance Wars-style strategy game with fun tactical combat and varied units, but many note it lacks a story, has very long missions at 40-plus turns, and suffers from technical issues like screen tearing and a bug where a plugged-in controller blocks keyboard input.
