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 methodical space station builder where you juggle resources and a growing population in a laid-back pixel-art sandbox.

What players say

Players praise the concept and management gameplay but warn the game was abandoned by its developers in 2022 and remains riddled with game-breaking bugs. Many report campaign saves breaking, meeples getting stuck and starving, or production orders not working, making extended play frustrating despite the fun core.
