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

This upgraded edition feels like a classic spaceship sim with deeper, evolving crew and story layers woven into unpredictable tactical encounters.

What players say

Players praise the retro aesthetic and deliberate tactical combat, but note that the random map and resource management create a steep initial learning curve. Once mastered, the difficulty feels moderate, with repeated runs encouraged by "just one more try" moments. The predecessor's clunky input is replaced with intuitive controls, making this version more accessible.
