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 tense, methodical strategy game where you manage a sci-fi colony while containing a mysterious viral outbreak.

What players say

Players enjoy the challenging puzzle-strategy hybrid and the FMV cutscenes that nod to Command & Conquer, but they are split on execution: some find it a fun brain-teaser, others say it relies too much on luck due to a restrictive four-building limit and a clunky queue system. Several note the game has not received updates and could use more levels.
