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 calm, methodical spaceship-building sandbox where you slowly upgrade components and assemble your dream vessel at your own pace.

What players say

Players agree the game is unfinished and short, with about 3 to 5 hours of content. The steepest complaint is the complete lack of a tutorial, and building feels clunky. Development ended early due to poor sales, leaving a promising foundation but minimal features. Those who enjoy simple space trading and ship building at a low price find some fun, but most recommend waiting or skipping.
