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, methodical simulation where players feel the weight of every decision while managing a bomber crew through realistic combat and hazards.

What players say
Players love B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th for its depth and authenticity, but they warn it is an old game with clunky controls, a painful UI, and a tough learning curve. Many note that Steam only tracks time in the launcher, not actual missions, and a few report that the AI bombardier often misses the target by dropping bombs over water.
