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.

What players say

Players are split on Infinite Space III. Many fans of the series say the move from 2D to 3D made navigation and the UI worse, with tiny text and oversized icons that suggest a mobile design. Others appreciate the tactical ship deployment and still find the core roguelike exploration fun, though they agree it feels like a reskin of the second game and can become repetitive.
