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 frantic, physics-based scramble where you clumsily haul loot from hostile planets while being swarmed by replicating robot bugs.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on Lunar Lander with physics-based grappling and resource logistics. Getting heavy objects to the mothership is rewarding. Controls feel awkward at first but clicks quickly. A few warn about random fuel placement making some runs unwinnable.
