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 faithful remake of a classic space exploration RPG with a strategic, story-driven feel and methodical resource management.

What players say

A faithful remake of a 1994 DOS space exploration RPG with a steep learning curve and retro interface frustrations, though the developer has added tutorials and difficulty options to ease modern players in. The game is notably harder than most current titles, even after the remake reduced the original's difficulty.
