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 tense, methodical strategy game where careful expansion and stealth are required to avoid provoking a devious, adaptive AI.

What players say

Players praise the unique asymmetric guerrilla warfare concept but note that early campaigns suffered from severe lag until post-2025 optimization fixed it. The developer is unusually responsive to community feedback.
