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 small fleet, making tactical decisions and engaging in brief arcade-style skirmishes as you chart a path through a procedurally generated galaxy.

What players say

Players describe this as a deep, content-rich space game that rewards patience but punishes those looking for polish. The graphics are deliberately retro, the minigames can feel awkward and repetitive, and many note similarities to Starflight and Star Control. Some reviewers warn the controls are frustrating, especially on laptop, and the tutorial has rough spots.
