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.

What players say

Players call SOL: Exodus a short, basic arcade space shooter reminiscent of Colony Wars or Wing Commander but simpler. It takes about four hours to finish and suffers from floaty physics, long weapon cooldowns, and repetitive missions, though the planetary views impress space enthusiasts. Some report a save-deleting bug.
