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 measured, strategic simulation where you manage the complexities of space exploration and resource allocation.

What players say
Players love the logistics and sense of scale, but agree the UI is frustrating and needs quality-of-life improvements. The game is in early access with limited content, so fans of space logistics will find it absorbing while others should wait.
