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

You command a ship in a decaying galaxy where every scrap of fuel matters and every other captain is just as desperate as you are.

What players say

Players are split on SPAZ 2. Some enjoy building their own modular mothership and carving out an empire in sandbox mode, but many find it a disappointing sequel that dumbed down what made the first game great. A recurring complaint is that the galaxy cheats: enemies rebuild starbases as soon as you leave and scale their power to match yours, making progression feel meaningless.
