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 brisk, tactical hex-based wargame where you command WWII forces with precision aiming and squad coordination.

What players say

players praise the old-school hex wargame formula, comparing it favorably to Panzer General. It is easy to learn but players split on difficulty: it is simple for genre veterans, yet the lack of a tutorial makes it unfriendly to newcomers. Common complaints include save/load bugs, missing core units, and only being able to play as Germany.
