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
You methodically move hex-based counters while balancing deep narrative choices and personnel management in a tense simulation of the Eastern Front.

What players say
Players praise the light roleplaying mechanics, like improving commander relations through gift-giving, as a fresh addition to hex strategy. However, some report technical issues with mouse capture and camera scaling that can hinder play.
