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 design a blocky battleship and adapt tactics on the fly against enemy ships in a creative sandbox brawl.

What players say

Players say the game is unplayable because its servers were shut down years ago, leaving the multiplayer-only game completely broken. A few holdouts fondly remember it as a creative sandbox shooter, but now they only encounter connection errors.
