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

Build a base from scratch then jump into the fray as a soldier, blending strategic overhead command with frantic first-person combat.

What players say

Players praise the RTS-FPS hybrid concept that lets them control units directly or fight as a soldier, but many note the game lacks content with few maps, no campaign, and no workshop. Combat is considered fun but unbalanced, and long-time players say development stopped without promised updates.
