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 calm cruise through scenic countries with gentle music, but tricky physics and challenge lurk beneath the surface.

What players say

Players praise the game's original concept and the contrast between peaceful visuals and stressful ship handling, but many find it too short at around 1.5 hours and overpriced. The mouse-only controls are a common complaint, though some see the difficulty as the point, and leaderboards are disabled when using a gamepad.
