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 frantic and hilarious race to cobble together a spaceship while dodging asteroids and battling space pirates, all under a cheery cartoony veneer.

What players say

Players are split on Galaxy Trucker. Many praise it as a faithful adaptation of the board game with a fun campaign, but a loud group reports the online multiplayer is broken and the game crashes on launch for Windows 11.
