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

You command a starship and its crew in real time, making tactical decisions and facing random events that keep each run tense and unpredictable.

What players say

Players compare it to FTL in 3D but say the difficulty curve is punishing and early runs feel luck-dependent. Some praise the 3D environment interactions, while others find the game bland and lacking FTL's charm. Reviews split on whether it has enough unique content to stand apart.
