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 slow-burning, methodical wargame where you issue orders and watch them unravel under the fog of war, demanding constant tactical reassessment.

What players say

Players praise the WeGo system and deep tactical realism, but split hard on the interface: many call it clunky, unintuitive, and poorly hotkeyed, while others find it manageable after the tutorial. The game has a steep learning curve and demands careful recon and artillery use, but performance bugs on modern systems and a simple campaign system disappoint some.
