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, puzzle-like strategy game where you carefully plan each move to outsmart enemies and keep your cargo safe.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Into the Breach, with many calling it an inferior clone that has less variety and content, while others appreciate its own clever ideas like the forgiving rewind mechanic and single-character focus. The difficulty is praised as tight and rewarding.
