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, strategic cold war simulation where careful planning and resource management are weighed against the looming threat of nuclear devastation.

What players say

A tough alternative-history RTS that demands constant saving and scouting. Players praise the variety of factions and unit logistics, though some find the unit types and maps repetitive over time.
