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, punishing sci-fi survival horror where every move could be your last due to permadeath and rogue-like unpredictability.

What players say

Players are split on Ghostship Aftermath. Some praise its System Shock 2-inspired atmosphere and randomized replayability, but many more call it fundamentally broken with buggy enemies, poor AI, clunky controls, and no manual save. Long-time players say development stalled despite early patches.
