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

You methodically command a tank unit, balancing stealth and firepower to hunt enemy commanders in a deliberate, tactical shooter.

What players say

Players find the AI frustratingly accurate even at long range, making difficulty feel unbalanced. The game offers different play styles like sniping or scouting, but missing systems and unfinished UI hold it back. Opinions are split on whether the core idea works.
