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 gleefully evil dungeon-management game where you feel like a scheming architect of chaos, carving out tunnels and commanding minions in real-time battles against heroic intruders.

What players say

Players love this classic RTS for its unique dungeon-building and evil humor, but warn it runs poorly on modern PCs without manual fixes. Technical issues like stuttering and disappearing UI text are common, forcing some to use community patches or a cracked copy. There is no official remaster in sight.
