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 methodical 1990s space-training simulator that feels like stepping into a Starfleet bridge simulator, balancing tactical starship combat with a serious, cinematic cadet progression.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgia-fueled Star Trek experience held back by clunky controls and aged graphics. The story and meaningful choices win praise, but missions feel repetitive and combat-heavy, and some report it does not run on modern hardware.
