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 sit in a virtual tower, panning around a 3D airport while directing planes and listening to pilot voices, with weather effects adding tension.

What players say

Players call it a simple ATC game that is easy to learn but hard to master. It has 3D plane models and airports, though some say the 3D doesn't improve gameplay much. A few players report the game doesn't work well on large displays or natively on Mac.
