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.

Commanding a starship in tense real-time tactical combat, juggling shields and weapon systems with deliberate, strategic pacing.

What players say

Players love the classic Star Trek ship-to-ship combat but warn that the Steam release runs poorly on modern systems, with frequent crashes on Windows 10 and 11. Some can get it working with community patches and compatibility settings, others cannot. A few players also find missiles too strong and note the lack of auto-save.
