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 slow, tactical card-driven crawl through derelict space stations, blending grim sci-fi atmosphere with the tension of managing a dwindling squad and resources.

What players say

Players appreciate the art, writing, and tactical deck-building combat, but many say the game was abandoned with bugs left unfixed and describe the difficulty as brutally punishing.
