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 large-scale tactical wargame focused on commanding combined arms forces with an emphasis on strategic planning and resource management.

What players say

Players appreciate the ambition and the mix of Total War, Company of Heroes, and city building, but many say the real-time combat is misleading, it uses grid-based movement and delayed damage, more like an auto-chess than an RTS. Reviews praise the Chinese theater setting and unit customization, while criticizing poor UI, incomplete translation, and bugs. Some call the development abandoned.
