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 strategic and action-oriented simulation of piloting a modular spacecraft through dangerous star systems while managing an ark colony.

What players say

Players are drawn to the sci-fi look and three robot classes, but the camera requires holding the right mouse button to turn, which feels awkward. Combat suffers from floaty bullet speed and sudden difficulty spikes, and the game is repetitive until reaching later planets. Most agree the early access content is thin and multiplayer is sorely missed.
