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 deeply strategic and punishing turn-based space battle game where every decision matters in fierce fleet engagements.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactical space combat with inertia-based movement, but many note it is a mobile port with minimal graphics and no story. The campaign offers variety in missions and ships, yet some find it repetitive after an hour. Long-time players say development shifted to a sequel instead of delivering promised multiplayer and expansions.
