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 slow-paced, hands-off clicking experience where you build star systems and watch your celestial empire grow at its own pace.

What players say

Players value it as a learning tool for astronomy and a relaxing idle experience, but several report bugs and say progression feels unfinished or exploitable. Players are split on whether its rough edges ruin it or the developer's quick responses make it worth the time.
