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

You navigate a hostile cluster of star systems by stealth and trade, constantly managing threats and keeping your ship alive.

What players say

Players praise the unique submarine-in-space feel and tactile ship controls, but nearly everyone reports the game was abandoned unfinished. It is buggy, crashes often, and has no ending, though modding support lets dedicated players tinker with text files.
