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, slow-burning sci-fi mystery with a focus on creeping paranoia and atmospheric storytelling through point-and-click exploration.

What players say

Players describe Forever Space as a short, free point-and-click interactive story with a sci-fi thriller tone. Reviews consistently note the lack of an inventory system and praise the surprising ending, while opinions split on whether the simple graphics and short length are weaknesses or fit the experience.
