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 pilot a starfighter through branching tactical missions, making choices that shape a dramatic space opera with comic-book flair.

What players say

Players liken this to a single-player StarCraft campaign mixed with a visual novel, featuring comic-style cutscenes and full voice acting. The voice work draws criticism for feeling robotic or out of place. Ship customization with grid-based part fitting is appreciated, while combat is straightforward and forgiving. Multiple endings exist but some players find grinding for them repetitive.
