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, retro-flavored tactical game where you methodically clear a spaceship of alien threats with a team of quirky heroes.

What players say
Players praise the retro sci-fi aesthetic, tense tactical combat and episodic story, often comparing the turn-based play to XCOM. But the multiplayer servers are dead, so most achievements are locked and co-op is gone, which long-time reviewers consistently call out.
