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 strategic board game of survival and competition as factions vie for control in a post-apocalyptic star system.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful digital version of a solid 4X board game, especially for speeding up the fiddly bookkeeping. However, they consistently criticize the AI for being too easy, and the asynchronous multiplayer is slow, requiring moves every 24 hours. Players also note the lack of expansions and map customization options.
