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 methodical, vengeful space-sim where you command capital ships and pirate allies in tactical, large-scale interstellar warfare against overwhelming corporate power.

What players say

Players love the Newtonian flight model and pirate-themed story, calling it one of the best space sims ever. However, the Steam version is widely reported to crash or fail to start without community fixes, and many recommend buying it elsewhere.
