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 tactical turn-based MMO where you lead a customizable army, team up for boss raids and PvP battles, and grind for loot and glory.

What players say

Players say the game shows promise but is held back by clunky mobile roots, a confusing UI, and heavy pay-to-win elements. The small population makes multiplayer empty, while critical hits can decide fights regardless of strategy.
