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

It feels like navigating a derelict space station under constant threat, balancing exploration and combat against hordes of infested creatures.

What players say

Players are split on Antares. Many praise it as impressive for a solo developer, but others find it repetitive, with bullet-sponge enemies and technical issues like motion blur, enemies popping in, and stairs where you can stand invincible.
