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 short, tense journey through a dangerous star system where repairing your ship and uncovering remnants of lost civilizations feel equally urgent and eerie.

What players say

Players consistently compare Project Proxima to Iron Lung, calling it that game in space, but opinions split on whether it captures the same claustrophobia. The game is very short, around 30 minutes, with multiple endings and secrets. Some players note bugs, like getting stuck in the terminal interface, and one reviewer found the camera controls odd.
