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 pilot a highly maneuverable fighter ship in zero-inertia 6DOF combat, weaving through procedurally generated space with a throbbing soundtrack and a constant undercurrent of tension.

What players say

Players describe Geocore as a promising but abandoned Descent homage that never left early access. Most agree the flight feel is authentic, but controls are extremely twitchy, single-player content is just randomly generated levels with no clear goal, and multiplayer is empty. Reviews split on whether it was ever worth the price, with many pointing to more complete 6DOF games like Overload.
