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 challenging and realistic simulation of zero-gravity flight that makes you feel the struggle of controlling a Manned Maneuvering Unit in space.

What players say

Players are split on this spacewalk simulator. Many praise its realistic thruster controls and atmosphere, but frustration is high: the controls are unforgiving, missions are repetitive waypoint flying, and the game offers only six short missions with no resolution options and low-resolution textures that look like an iPad port.
