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 gritty space tactical RPG where careful real-time planning and player choices shape a dangerous, lawless galaxy.

What players say

Players appreciate the deep tactical combat and ship customization, but find the game clunky and punishing. The open world is seen as empty and the many endings force replaying. Performance and UI issues are common.
