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 command a fleet in deliberate, turn-based space skirmishes where each move matters, earning upgrades that make each fight feel more substantial.

What players say

Players describe Centauri Sector as a short and shallow hybrid of space shooter and strategy, with little variety and almost no replay value. Many note it is too easy, the tower defense segments are poor, and upgrading quickly runs out. Some enjoy the mix of genres and old-school feel, but sentiment is split between a brief distraction and a disappointing lack of depth.
