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 of commanding a WWII bomber crew through hazardous missions.

What players say
Players are sharply divided. Many praise the authentic simulation and nostalgic value, calling it rewarding after the steep learning curve. But a loud group calls it a buggy mess, with AI that crashes on landing, broken escorts, and updates that slow to a crawl, one reviewer with 40 hours says a mission was lost when the entire squadron exploded on the runway.
