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 and your crew frantically shout orders and manage ship systems together in a chaotic but rewarding sci-fi co-op experience.

What players say

Players describe a unique co-op space sim where you crew a starship with 1 to 5 friends, but the game is effectively abandoned. The most common complaint is a dead population, though servers remain online and offline bot play works. Fans split on whether it still offers enough to justify installing.
