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, tense alien-defense simulator with turn-based tactical firefights and strategic global management.

What players say
Players say Xenonauts is a faithful recreation of the 1990s X-COM, improving the visuals but adding few new ideas. Some find it hard but rewarding, while others call it soulless and too slow. There is disagreement on whether it improves on the classic or merely copies it.
