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.

What players say

Players warn this 1990s space sim has a clunky UI and painfully slow combat, especially in the lengthy tutorial. Fans call it a mix of space 4X and fighter sim like Wing Commander, but the Steam release lacks sound for some. Enthusiasts say it requires the manual to understand, and a few ask for a German language update.
