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

Methodically dismantling massive wrecks with tools while managing resources feels like a meditative industrial sandbox.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing demolition sim, but many find the ships repetitive and the grind tedious. Frequent fatal errors and bugs frustrate some players, while others call it a satisfying way to unwind, especially alongside other media. Opinions split on multiplayer, with reports of bugs.
