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, tactical strategy game where you methodically command fantasy armies across hexagonal battlefields.

What players say

Players describe a punishing turn-based strategy game where missions are timed and soldiers die permanently. The challenge is high, often demanding save-scumming even on lower difficulties, and the random perks and damage can feel unfair. The visuals are dated but have a retro charm.
