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 physics-driven space combat game where you control and command a fleet in fast, tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the fleet-control and constant progression, but warn the grind gets heavy until a mod fixes the pacing. The controls and UI feel dated, and the game fails to run on Windows 11 or macOS beyond 32-bit support.
