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 deliberate and systematic space management sim focused on assembling orbital infrastructure with a calm, analytical pace.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the relaxing station-building loop, but many more criticize the game as unfinished with an unintuitive UI, clunky controls, and an economy that forces grinding through contracts with little reward. A common complaint is that the wiring minigame feels like meaningless busywork with no real impact on logistics.
