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 tense, methodical real-time strategy where you build and defend against an ever-flowing fluid enemy, balancing economy and positioning on 3D terrain.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying base building and the endless replayability from daily new maps and community mods. However, many note the 3D camera is janky and gets in the way during hectic moments, and the game demands more focus than its casual appearance suggests.
