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 calm, creative adventure of building and exploring a tiny rocket laboratory at your own pace.

What players say

Players call it a cozy blend of Stardew Valley and Factorio, with a sweet 30-hour story about building a rocket. The day cycle and friendships feel undercooked, and automation is simpler than in pure factory games.
