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 card-driven strategy game where you carefully manage resources and colonists aboard a colony ship to find a new home for humanity.

What players say

Players call it a fast, relaxing solo board-game-like strategy title with resource management and unlockable factions. They split on the endgame: some find it rewarding with good replayability, while a long-time player calls the rank grinding the worst in 30 years. The graphics are widely criticized as cheap or ugly.
