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

You pilot a heavily modified B-52 through complex, methodical air-assault missions, juggling multiple systems and stealth tactics in a tense, retro-styled simulation.

What players say

Players say this is less a flight sim and more a stealth evasion and crew management game where you switch between stations to plot routes and jam radars. Based on Dale Brown's novel, it offers brutal campaigns and deep systems simulation, though some note the collection is missing original manuals.
