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

Commanding a fleet in real-time space battles feels tense and strategic, with adaptive AI and ship-part targeting adding depth.

What players say

Players praise the game's low price and fun space battles with oversized capital ships, but many say development stalled and the promised campaign never arrived, leaving only basic skirmish and a dead multiplayer mode. Controls feel unfinished to some, while others find the simplicity easy to jump into.
