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

You watch AI nations clash and evolve on a top-down map, tinkering with borders and scenarios in a low-stakes god-like sandbox.

What players say

Players say it is a simple, cheap sandbox for history and alt-history scenarios, often calling it a lighter alternative to Hearts of Iron 4. The mod and workshop support is a major draw, but large maps cause heavy lag and battles drag on even at max speed.
