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 deliberately austere retro turn-based strategy game about mining, building, and surviving against alien threats in procedurally generated space.

What players say

Players enjoy the cheap price and the ship movement mechanics, but many find the interface and visuals rough. Some note the developer has not updated or fixed the game.
