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 tactical RPG where every move is deliberate and deterministic, with tabletop-style visuals guiding your squad through diorama battles.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth and short mission length, making it a good pick-up-and-play free game. However, they consistently criticize the clunky interface, poor English translation, and various bugs.
