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.

What players say

Players praise a realistic and challenging rocket sim that is more difficult than Kerbal Space Program due to accurate delta v and planet scale, though the early access game has limited parts, buggy tutorials, and occasional jank that players accept from a solo developer.
