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 fast-paced, stressful arcade shooter where you scramble to shoot pirates and keep your creaking airship afloat.

What players say

Players describe Flight of the Icarus as a singleplayer rail shooter that gets repetitive quickly, with very little content or variety. Some defend it as a distinct early roguelike arcade experience, but the majority see it as an unfinished demo or a rough prototype for Guns of Icarus Online that does not hold up alone.
