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 balance ship systems and fight in first person, constantly deciding whether to retreat for upgrades or push deeper into dangerous space under mounting pressure.

What players say
Players enjoy the tense, adrenaline-filled gameplay of managing a ship from inside the engine room, finding it both simple and deceptively stressful. However, some run into performance issues and a brutal difficulty spike in the second star system, while others hope for more content to flesh out the concept.
