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 methodical real-time strategy game where you prepare, customize, and direct troops across ever-changing procedurally generated battlefields, requiring careful planning and strategic thinking.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly compare it to the Ogre Battle series, and most are happy to have a clone at all, despite rough edges. They praise army customization and the supply system, but split on whether the sticky controls and infinite enemy reinforcements are dealbreakers or just part of the retro charm.
