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

Commanding a customizable fleet in full 3D space feels like a methodical, atmospheric tug-of-war where every loot drop and fleet composition matters.

What players say

Players say the ship combat and custom loadouts are the best part, but the game is held back by a janky UI, awkward controls, and AI opponents that cheat with infinite resources. Skirmish mode is limited to 1 versus 1 or 2 or 3 AI, with no allied AI support, and reviews note updates are slow.
