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 chaotic but surprisingly laid-back journey through weird space, where your ship is also a planet and the tone is playful and odd.

What players say

Players describe Planetship as a very trippy and chill space exploration game, but many note save bugs and a lack of clear goals. Players split on the experience: some find it meditative and addictive, others say it reduces to repetitive scanning with too little guidance.
