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 playful sandbox where you dream up absurd units and watch them clash in silly battles.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, custom battle simulator with a unit editor, but many say it lacks polish and scope. Performance issues with larger battles and clumsy AI are common complaints, while some enjoy the creative freedom in setting up fights.
