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, narrative-driven strategic retreat where every decision feels heavy with consequence amidst a relentless and desperate flight from annihilation.

What players say

Players compare it to FTL with a medieval setting and tight resource management. Combat is rock paper scissors and choices hurt, but some wish for more event variety and UI polish. The game offers a solid dozen hours, though players split on whether it needs an expansion or is complete enough.
