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 hands-on game about designing and commanding a fully customizable spaceship, where balancing module stats and battlefield tactics feels methodical and open-ended.

What players say

Players praise the deep ship customization but are split on whether the game is worth buying, as development appears abandoned with no updates for a year. The building system is powerful but tedious, kinetic weapons are weak compared to missiles, and parts can mysteriously disconnect.
