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 strategic game where dice rolls dictate offense, defense, and movement, requiring careful resource management.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactical dice and ship building, with many noting surprising depth and varied builds. But sentiment splits: some call battles and loot predetermined, making it a puzzle game, while long-time players report a broken Act IV, unaddressed bug reports, and a final fight that is heavily RNG-dependent.
