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 laid-back, atmospheric space mining and trading game where you casually explore procedurally generated sectors, upgrade your ship, and earn faction respect without intense pressure.

What players say

Players agree the game is a simple, relaxing space grinder that works best for short sessions. Many call it shallow, with repetitive mining and transport missions and no narrative, while a few find its simplicity addictive. Controls are mouse-only but some report targeting and docking are janky.
