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

Flying steampunk airships with a crew, coordinating tactics and repairs in tense multiplayer battles.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say the game is dead, with very few people online outside of developer-organized events. Those who loved it call it peak co-op chaos and a unique steampunk experience, but warn that you need friends or a full crew to have any fun, especially in PvP. The player base was split when Alliance launched, and the two games were later merged.
