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 thoughtful and deliberate turn-based artillery duel where you carefully aim torpedoes through gravity wells in space.

What players say

Players praise the chill music and gravity-based puzzles, comparing it to pool with planets or a cross between Asteroids and Artillery. The single-player offers satisfying physics shots but the story is forgettable, some wish for online multiplayer.
