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, historically grounded wargame where careful positioning and counter-attacks drive methodical progression across hex-grid battlefields.

What players say

Players like this as a lightweight, low-cost hex strategy game in the Panzer General tradition, focusing on the Soviet campaign from Moscow to Berlin. Opinions split on polish: some find bugs and clunky interface, while others enjoy the depth and developer support.
