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, solo tactical wargame where you out-think an alien foe through careful planning and perseverance.

What players say

Players appreciate the faithful adaptation of the board game's randomness with dice and cards, but split on difficulty, some find it too easy on normal while others get stuck in stun loops. The limited content is a common complaint: only two pre-made scenarios with no random generator, and some report campaign bugs or frequent crashes.
