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.

What players say

Players compare Zenith Armada to Battlevoid Harbinger and FTL, with opinions split: some call it a buggy clone still in early development, while others see it as a worthy spiritual successor. Many report game-breaking bugs, including crashes after the final battle and save corruption, though those who tolerate them find the gameplay loop diverting.
