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 deliberate, immersive space sim where you methodically build and expand a space station while exploring unknown galaxies with custom ships.

What players say

Players describe an early-access sandbox with promise but very little content yet. Mining and hauling are in place, but combat is absent, sectors feel repetitive, and bugs like duplicate charges and a single save slot frustrate. The developer is responsive, but the game is too bare-bones for most to recommend in its current state.
