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 deliberate, turn-based wargame where you methodically command armies across a fantasy battlefield, focusing on tactical positioning and resource management.

What players say

Players praise this 90s hex-based strategy game for its solid fantasy take on the Panzer General formula, where units level up across a long campaign. It is engaging but opaque, and many say a guide is needed to understand it fully. The difficulty ramps up sharply, and some prefer this original over its remakes.
