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 cute but tense tactical space opera where careful thinking and crew management meet turn-based battles against overwhelming odds.

What players say

Players are split on this solo-developed game. Fans praise the charming cat theme, puns, and turn-based combat, but many note it is very short at 4–7 hours with no side content. Several reviewers report bugs, like needing to cycle weapon commands, and find the mechanics too simple or the story abrupt.
