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 strategic, grid-based wargame where players methodically command troops and exploit terrain in a dieselpunk Great War.

What players say

Players call it a competent Advance Wars clone with a satisfying veterancy system and fun boss units, but many find the campaign too easy with no difficulty sliders, the story and ending weak, and a few report system-crashing bugs.
