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 fast, minimalist territory-grabbing duel where every wrong move ends the run instantly.

What players say

Players call Frontiers.io an asset flip built from a Unity template, with artwork taken from Final Fantasy. Those who play find it a fast territory-capture game that plays like an online version of Snakes, but the cheap asking price does not hide input lag and shallow content.
