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 narrative-heavy space diplomacy adventure where your choices shape alliances, relationships, and the fate of an interstellar union.

What players say

Players praise the humorous writing, fleshed-out alien races, and choices that genuinely affect the story's outcome, including sudden game overs. The romance is limited, with no harem ending, and some note the game's length is closer to eight hours than the advertised twelve. A few players mention it was made largely by one person.
