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 orchestrate a vast planetary terraforming project as a detached AI, balancing intricate resource chains against a lonely Martian backdrop.

What players say
Players are split on Per Aspera. Some enjoy the story and terraforming mechanics, but a recurring criticism is that the game becomes a boring slog of waiting, especially after the first few hours. A memory leak on Linux was also reported, and several players found the logistics frustrating and the narrative shallow.
