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

The game feels like a frantic, mad-scientist sandbox where you cobble together bizarre mutant animal hybrids and throw them into messy, retro-RTS skirmishes.

What players say

Players praise the unique creature-mixing army system and call it one of the most original RTS games ever, though some say other RTS elements are basic. The campaign is grueling, with endless enemy waves keeping players on the back foot, but the goofy story and sense of achievement keep them coming back.
