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 frantic zero-g combat trudge through a crumbling facility where every run is a tense scramble for escape.

What players say

Players praise the 6DOF movement and call it a worthy successor to Descent, with VR support and customizable controls. However, many report performance issues, mouse smoothing that cannot be disabled, and a cockpit view that takes up too much of the screen. Opinions split on replayability: some find progression satisfying, while others say loot and upgrades are exhausted by zone 3.
