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 meticulously detailed and immersive flight simulator that feels like operating a real aircraft, balancing technical precision with the calm satisfaction of mastering flight.

What players say

Players praise the realistic flight physics and detailed systems, but find the base game limited without community add-ons. It runs well on older hardware, though the graphics lag behind newer sims. Newcomers face a steep learning curve for cockpit controls and startup procedures.
