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 frantic loop of building, defending, and rebuilding under constant threat, where every decision can snowball into survival or disaster.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to FTL, some prefer it but many say to just play FTL instead. The game is micro-heavy and repetitive, with runs that can be beaten in an afternoon but feel random and unfinished. Opinions split on difficulty, with some calling the RNG swingy and others finding it manageable.
