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 tense, hands-on simulation where you frantically flick switches and manage systems inside a cramped retro capsule while a satirical Cold War narrative unfolds around you.

What players say

Players are split on Interkosmos. Those who get it working praise the cramped Soviet capsule atmosphere and funny voice acting, but many report broken Index controller support, missing audio and frequent crashes. The game is short, around 40 minutes to an hour, and achievements are non-functional.
