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 voyage of high-stakes decision-making and real-time combat in the void, where every jump tests your crew and ship.

What players say

Players find it a decent indie space RPG for the price, though it feels unfinished and the missions get repetitive. The crew system is punishing, losing high-level crew through story events can cripple your ship, and reserve crew are useless. Players split on the choices, calling them illusions where you are punished for not picking what the dev wanted.
