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 solitary drift through a sprawling, procedurally generated asteroid field, where you chip away at rocks and trade to survive, with a quiet tension that escalates when pirates appear.

What players say
Players describe it as a stripped-down, single-player version of Eve Online with simple mining and combat that gets repetitive. Many agree the developer's later game, Astrox Imperium, is a more complete experience, and some feel this game is more of a tech demo in hindsight.
