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 control a squad of mercenaries in a pixelated sci-fi world, methodically gathering gear and making choices as you explore with friends.

What players say

Players praise the art and loot system but the developer went bankrupt shortly after launch, leaving the game without updates or mod support. The gameplay gets repetitive fast, combat is shallow, and the difficulty is uneven, the final boss is easier than the first.
