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 contemplative, choice-heavy journey through a diplomatic crisis in space, blending tactical ground and space combat with a focus on narrative consequences.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters, noting the multiple endings and choices that matter. Combat is split: ground fights are fair while space battles are much harder. Some wish status effects were more useful. The game is 15-20 hours long and still early in development.
