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 quickly rip parts from exploding enemies and snap them onto your own ship, making each encounter a frantic and creative puzzle of destruction.

What players say

Players build chaotic ships from salvaged parts but complain the mid-level timer and instant defeat make the game feel rushed and unfair. The difficulty is punishing, with one-hit kills and cruel random encounters. Fans of the original Captain Forever prefer the older game's slower, less restrictive pace.
