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 methodical turn-based strategy game where you explore planets, build cities, and command armies in a sci-fi setting.

What players say

Players call it a solid Heroes of Might and Magic 3 homage set in space, praised for its campaign story and co-op. Performance problems are common: crashes, freezes, and long turn waits. Some are frustrated by the lack of randomly generated skirmish maps and a paid DLC that adds only seven maps.
