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 strategic, turn-based aerial deckbuilder where you carefully customize your airship and crew to outmaneuver an invading empire.

What players say

Players praise the deep tactical deckbuilding and distinct play styles across ships, with satisfying synergies. The UI is often called clunky, but the game offers a lot for its low price and includes queer representation. Players appreciate the responsive developer.
