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, tactical wargame where you methodically coordinate squads across hex maps, balancing careful aim and counter-attacks with historical authenticity.

What players say

Players split on this WWII hex strategy game: some praise its cheap price and simple 'one more turn' appeal, while others find the combat unexplained and the UI confusing. It's a single-developer project in the Panzer General style, with basic mechanics but no tutorial and a short campaign.
