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.

What players say

Players praise the World War II atmosphere and modding possibilities, but consistently report the game as abandoned by its developer since long ago. The single-player campaign is criticized for unclear objectives and bugs, while many recommend instead using the Iron Front mod for Arma 3. Player reviews are split by political commentary unrelated to gameplay.
