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 quirky and unpredictable strategy game where you manage unruly units and navigate time loops, making each playthrough feel like a mind-bending puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the original no-micro, only-macro design but split on execution. The tubular worlds and async multiplayer are fresh ideas, yet wonky camera controls, limited content, and server shutdowns frustrate many.
