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 methodical and tense turn-based strategy game where every decision feels high-stakes against a relentless enemy in a war of attrition.

What players say

Players love the turn-based tactical combat and faithful Battlestar Galactica atmosphere, but almost every review laments that the game and its DLC have been removed from Steam. Sentiment is split: reviews call the gameplay either slow or intense.
