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 slow, methodical space strategy game where you manage a fleet of ships in top-down, real-time tactical combat with text-based feedback.

What players say

Players are split on the ascii visuals and steep learning curve, but those who push through discover a surprisingly deep space conquest sim where you can commit atrocities as a Klingon-style empire. The game has a loyal following who say nothing else has matched its feature set since 1989.
