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 hands-on flight sim that drops you into cockpit-focused, historically grounded combat, emphasizing careful control and period authenticity over arcade action.

What players say

Players praise the flight model and visuals as a clear upgrade over IL-2 Great Battles, but many balk at the $80 price for only six planes, with two more sold separately. Reviewers split on value: some see a solid foundation worth the cost, others call it an early-access product, and several note a convoluted control setup that eats into the refund window.
