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 methodical real-time strategy game focused on balanced base-building and tactical combat between three distinct factions.

What players say

Players compare it unfavorably to StarCraft, calling its campaign short and its combat bland. The UI is criticized as oversized, and dual-monitor users report power cycling when minimizing. Development stopped in 2016, but some players still enjoy the factions and cinematics.
