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 thrilling, story-driven space combat experience that places you directly in the cockpit for fast-paced dogfights and exploration in a dystopian future.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting, music and atmosphere but are sharply divided on value: many finish in 2-3 hours and call it far too short for the price. The story ends on a 'to be continued' cliffhanger and, years later, has never received a sequel, which several reviewers now cite as a reason not to recommend. Combat is considered fun but too easy, and controls are simple and intuitive.
