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 precise physics-driven space flight simulator where every maneuver requires careful inertia management and planning, rewarding methodical control over twitch reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the realistic Newtonian flight model but note the game is very short, with only tutorial-like levels and no campaign. Common complaints include sound clipping, a lack of vector information, and control issues for some. A few report crashes on launch.
