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 streamlined, turn-based tactical battle game that feels like a modern take on classic strategy titles, balancing ease of learning with deep gameplay.

What players say

Players consistently call this a failed Advance Wars clone. They find the AI incompetent, the controls tedious with almost no hotkeys, the 3D graphics ugly and unclear, and the story bland. Some also mention crashes and resolution issues.
