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 mold a barren world into a thriving home for humanity, a gentle cosmic sandbox of layered construction and gentle stewardship.

What players say

Players describe Planeta as a zen planet-building clicker that is fun for an hour but gets repetitive. Many note the creatures are static stickers with no animation, the graphics cause overheating, and there is only one save slot. The game is short, with most players finishing in 45 to 90 minutes.
