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 soothing, creative sandbox where you build intricate ships and drift through a peaceful, procedurally generated universe, punctuated by moments of chaotic but satisfying combat.

What players say

Players praise the ship building and combat, calling it a hidden gem with a simple but satisfying loop. They note it gets repetitive after clearing areas, and that while it runs well on old hardware, later updates made it heavy on newer laptops. The game is compared to Spore's cell stage or a less complex From the Depths.
