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 deliberate, large-scale space strategy game where you manage fleets and factions under the pressure of an escalating alien threat.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and soundtrack, but many report frequent crashing on Windows and wonky camera controls. The game runs well on Linux and Steam Deck, and its blend of RTS and 4X systems is appreciated, though the UI feels incomplete and the combat can be confusing.
