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

Exploratory tactical combat with permanent death, mixing nostalgic mashups and tense turn-based strategy.

What players say

Players split on Enemy. Many love its fully destructible voxel world and tactical depth, comparing it to XCOM with building destruction. But the game is brutally hard, especially early on, and suffers from frequent crashes and bugs that frustrate even its fans.
