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

It feels like piloting a fully customizable starfighter through intense dogfights and fleet battles, where your choices and ship loadouts shape the outcome of a story-driven campaign.

What players say

Players call it a fun arcade space shooter with nostalgic vibes, but note clunky controls and HOTAS setup problems. The campaign takes about 2.5 to 6.5 hours, and choices may lead to multiple endings. Voice acting quality splits opinion.
