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 feel the weight of a realistic military flight simulator with a steep but fair learning curve, focusing on immersive cockpit controls and strategic mission planning.

What players say

Players report a flight sim stuck in early access for over eight years with little progress. The main draw is a single Harrier jet with a clickable cockpit, but the game lacks tutorials, has broken VR and mouse controls, and requires a controller.
