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

The game feels like a deliberate, systems-driven simulation where players carefully plan and manage rather than act on impulse.

What players say

Players praise the Majesty-like indirect control and atmosphere, but most struggle early: the tutorial explains little and the first mission spikes hard when enemies swarm. Many say balancing is rough, with fleets clustering and supply logic unclear, and the game lacks graphics options. Reviews split between those seeing a solid foundation and those frustrated by the difficulty.
