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-burn war of attrition where every alliance, spy mission, and siege weapon placement feels like a calculated gamble.

What players say

Players call this a free strategy game with roots in 1990s IRC, but the community is tiny and new players struggle against veterans who receive special benefits. The developer is active and helpful, yet the game's static visuals turn some away. Players are split on whether the deep mechanics and friendly Discord make the steep learning curve worthwhile.
