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 slow-paced strategic game of expanding your civilization across procedurally generated planets, building cities and managing resources.

What players say

Players enjoy this free real-time strategy colony builder despite its dated look, but some complain about missing a speed up button and slow trade between planets. A few wonder whether the developer is still actively supporting the game.
