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 tense and immersive historical flight sim that demands skill and patience to master fragile WWI aircraft.

What players say

Players say Rise of Flight delivers a realistic WWI flight experience with dated but serviceable graphics and a good feel compared to IL-2 Flying Circus. However, many call the free-to-play model a trap: you only get three planes and must buy DLC for missions, though quick battles remain free. Long-time players report the multiplayer is dead and community development stalled.
