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 cozy, relaxing space sandbox where you pilot your ship through procedurally generated galaxies at your own pace.

What players say

Players love the sheer amount of content for the price, but nearly everyone warns that the game lacks tutorials and has an opaque UI that forces constant googling. The start is slow and grinding, but progression from a tiny ship to a fleet and colonies is deeply satisfying once you figure it out.
