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 frantically cobble together a spaceship from salvaged parts while under fire, with every bolt affecting how your creation flies and fights.

What players say

Players love the unique ship-building combat but are split on difficulty: some find it addictive and transcendent, while others say constant enemy waves leave no time to rebuild after fights.
