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 fast-paced combat flight sim where piloting feels precise and tense, with high-stakes dogfights and the looming threat of nuclear detonations.

What players say
Players praise Nuclear Option as a sweet spot between arcade flight games like Ace Combat and hardcore sims like DCS. The Escalation mode is a highlight, with many noting the satisfying nuclear weapons and a welcoming learning curve even for newcomers.
