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 tense precision-timing challenge of landing a craft on pads under fuel constraints in a retro space setting.

What players say
Players describe it as a simple physics-based lunar lander that is easy to pick up but hard to master. They note the controls feel weighty and the game runs on Steam Deck, though it needs manual key mapping. Some want more levels.
