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 forge a single starship into a powerful warship by salvaging gear and upgrading between runs in a fast-paced, loop-driven sci-fi survivors game.

What players say

Players praise the fun ship synergies and addictive loop, but many report severe performance problems and crashes, especially during late runs. Reviews also mention sharp difficulty spikes, a lack of mid-run saving (later fixed), and a sense that the game becomes too easy once a good build comes together.
