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 sprawling, old-school space adventure that blends turn-based strategy, real-time combat, and lighthearted exploration in a galaxy full of emergent stories.

What players say

Players adore this open-ended space RPG for its unmatched freedom, sarcastic humor, and deep text-based quests that can overshadow the rest of the game. However, the HD version's Pirate expansion draws criticism for wrecking galactic balance, and the UI does not scale well at higher resolutions.
