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

You manage a fledgling colony, balancing resource extraction, modular ship assembly, and tactical defense against a threatening AI in a carefully built, futuristic settlement.

What players say

Players describe an ambitious idea that suffers from a lack of polish and a stalled development. Reviewers consistently report that the solo developer moved on, leaving the game in an unfinished state with no updates since 0.99. The tutorial is considered poor, the economy too simple, and logistics routes buggy. A minority still find the core concept appealing.
