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

You feel like a commander making careful decisions, directing semi-autonomous fleets and listening to your officers' advice in a vast space battlefield.

What players say

Players say Foresight is a functional but unpolished space RTS that feels like a throwback to older games like Star Trek Armada. The developer is very responsive to feedback and has steadily improved the game, but the clunky UI, limited camera controls and poor voice acting hold it back. Reviews are split on whether the dated graphics are charming or just outdated.
