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 brisk, cerebral wargame where every turn demands careful unit positioning and resource management to outmaneuver a capable opponent.

What players say

Players say Headquarters Cold War is essentially a reskin of its WWII predecessor, reusing sounds and keeping the same feel. The game suffers from crashes and AI that sometimes sits idle, while helicopters are considered overpowered and the objective to find a single hidden unit is widely disliked.
