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 funny, cartoonish turn-based strategy game where absurd military missions and comedic troop antics make the campaign feel light and playful.

What players say

Players praise the turn-based strategy as simple yet engaging, with a rock-paper-scissors combat system and supply lines that add depth. The AI is easy but adjustable. Multiplayer servers are gone, so only local pass-and-play works.
