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 chaotic, experimental sandbox where you fly and fight with custom magic in an unfinished action shooter.

What players say

Players praise the extensive customization, from tweaking unit stats to creating entire levels, but warn the depth can be intimidating for newcomers. The game offers a 3D radar and an auto-shoot mode to ease into the action, with curated battles that introduce different shot types. Long-time players recommend lowering health values in skirmish mode first.
