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.

You and your friends operate a starship bridge together, coordinating roles under pressure against alien threats in a realistic, cinematic space setting.

What players say

Players say this early-access bridge-crew simulator is fun with a dedicated group in person, but unfinished and rough. The interface is limited, online setup can be tricky, and it is multiplayer only. Fans of the original Artemis 2 are split: some see clear improvements in the scripting system, others recommend buying the older game instead because of missing features and bugs.
