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 quick, quirky space roguelike where each short session remixes alien encounters and star systems for unpredictable exploration and combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a quick space roguelike where sessions last about 30 minutes. The game is simple and runs on low-end PCs, but reviews are split: some enjoy the pick-up-and-play nature, while others find it too basic with little content and unfair random events. Several compare it unfavorably to FTL.
