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 tactical turn-based RPG with retro pixel graphics and a quirky, story-rich journey as a single sperm cell.

What players say

Players praise its bizarre premise of sperm cells waging war, and the deep tactical combat styled after Langrisser. The campaign is short with a grind for DNA upgrades, and the AI often leaves commanders exposed.
