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 tense, choice-driven space adventure where you navigate moral dilemmas and zero-g exploration as a hardened officer.

What players say

Players split on this Telltale entry. Fans of the series enjoy returning to the Expanse universe and Camina Drummer, but many find the game too short at around 5-7 hours, filled with zero-g scavenger hunts and lacking meaningful choices. Some report a frustrating autosave system and consider it forgettable unless discounted.
