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, head-to-head tactical duel where positioning and resource management shape every move.

What players say

Players are split: some find the turn-based hex combat enjoyable in short bursts, but most reviewers say the multiplayer is dead, there are no servers, no single-player content, and the game lacks a tutorial or bots.
