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 tense, fast-paced space shooter where every run demands quick improvisation and skill against ever-changing odds.

What players say

Players compare Everspace to Galaxy on Fire and say it scratches the itch of old space shooters. The roguelite structure divides opinion: some like the loop and permanent upgrades, others find it grindy and repetitious. Dogfights involve constant spinning, and the graphics impress even on older hardware.
