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 drift as a comet through a quiet, procedurally generated cosmos, gently pulled by realistic gravity with as much or as little input as you like.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging puzzle game about orbital mechanics, comparing it to Osmos and Kerbal Space Program. Reviewers split on whether it is relaxing or hectic, and some criticize it for feeling like a mobile game with limited replayability.
