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

A space action-adventure with enormous numerical variety in builds, upgrades, and characters, feeling expansive but mechanically straightforward.

What players say

Players love the addictive gameplay loop and huge variety of pilot, ship, and upgrade combinations. Runs get chaotic but the progression feels meaningful, and the responsive developer is a consistently praised highlight.
