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 thoughtful, empire-building space strategy game where you carefully expand your civilization through diplomacy, research, and tactical combat at a deliberate turn-based pace.

What players say
Players heap praise on Galactic Civilizations II as a classic 4X space strategy game with deep replayability and a rewarding technology tree. However, some report a startup error message that must be dismissed each time the game loads.
