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 vast, lumbering warships in slow, tense space battles where every decision carries weight and mistakes are costly.

What players say

Players praise the Warhammer 40k setting but warn the campaign is slow and repetitive, with frequent difficulty spikes even on easy. Some call it rough and recommend the sequel instead, while others appreciate it as a rare space battle game.
