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

feels like leading a squad through a gritty industrial warzone where careful resource management and combined arms tactics matter as much as twitch shooting.

What players say

Players praise the blend of RTS and FPS, where one commander plays a strategy layer while everyone else fights in first person. But almost everyone agrees the game is functionally dead, with activity only on weekends and most servers empty.
