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 frantic, darkly comedic pressure-cooker where you frantically repair spaceships under the thumb of a corporate overlord, juggling time and resources with a grim sense of humor.

What players say

Players are split: some love the challenging, manual-intensive repair puzzles and quirky tone, while others find it frustratingly unclear, repetitive, and unforgiving, especially with timed fatal jobs even in non-timed mode.
