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 classic real-time strategy game where you gather resources, build armies, and outmaneuver opponents on procedurally generated battlefields.

What players say

Players say the game is abandoned, with many unable to launch it. Those who can play find it a simple, free RTS similar to Age of Empires, but note the multiplayer is dead, there are few maps, no campaign, and a cash shop for civilizations. Sentiment is split between a few who enjoy the casual skirmishes and many who call it broken or abandoned.
