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 and thoughtful journey of exploration and strategy across a simulated planetary landscape.

What players say

Players describe a relaxing survival-crafting loop set on a small planet, but many find the gameplay devolves into a repetitive grind with no real challenge. Complaints center on missing camera rotation, clunky storage management, a lack of meaningful exploration, and a sense that development has stalled with no further updates planned.
