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

Players coordinate intensely in real-time, each at their own station, to pilot a starship together as a unified crew.

What players say

Players love the cooperative bridge-crew fantasy, especially in the same room with friends, but agree the game is shallow and runs out of content quickly. Many say the free open-source clone EmptyEpsilon does the same thing better, and the single-player mode is nonfunctional.
