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 straightforward space fighter sim where you zip around completing bite-sized missions alone or with a couple of friends.

What players say

Players praise the retro Wing Commander feel and large-scale space battles, but nearly all point to clunky controls and the lack of a targeting system as critical flaws. The campaign is short and the game has been abandoned by its developers, leaving it unfinished.
