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

Feels like piloting a clunky, customizable mech through tactical missions while juggling business expenses and AI crew management.

What players say

Players praise its potential as a spiritual successor to classic Mechwarrior games, but sentiment is sharply divided between those who enjoy it as a free, functional throwback and those who feel it was abandoned mid-development with no updates since 2022, leaving it as a bare-bones alpha with minimal content and poor menus.
