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 quick, competitive turn-based battle on a hex grid with cartoony sci-fi flair, balanced for fair 1v1 or 2v2 matches.

What players say

Players praise the strategic hex-based gameplay and "crowd surfing" mechanic, but nearly all agree the game is unplayable because servers were shut down in June 2019 and the developer ran out of funds. Even dedicated fans say only the tutorial might work, and multiplayer is gone.
