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 slow, serene crawl through a ruined starship, uncovering its secrets at an idle pace.

What players say
Players are sharply divided: some call it an overmonetized AI-slop idle clicker, while others find it a decent free game with good music, generous cross-progression, and no pay-to-win pressure. Complaints include save issues and a dull start.
