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 tense, strategic struggle to guide a battered fleet through random hostile encounters with scarce resources.

What players say

Players see Nomad Fleet as a lightweight Homeworld-inspired RTS with great music and a satisfying sci-fi story, but they strongly criticize the UI for being nearly unreadable and the camera controls for being broken. The game is short, abandoned by its developer, and plagued by slow resource harvesting, though some find it a fun casual singleplayer experience.
