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 run a cozy intergalactic pawn shop, buying, repairing, and selling quirky alien trinkets at a relaxed, job-sim pace.

What players say

Players say Pawn Planet has a fun core loop ruined by persistent bugs that delete inventory items, softlock progress, and force frequent reloads. Reviews agree the developer stopped updating shortly after launch, leaving the game unfinished. Players are split on whether the underlying idea is worth tolerating the bugs.
