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 methodical and sprawling space simulation that feels like piloting a lone ship through a vast, indifferent galaxy, where careful planning and combat preparation outweigh immediate thrills.
