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 deep, turn-based strategy game where you methodically manage an empire, design ships, and watch 3D space battles unfold at your own pace.

What players say
Players are torn: many praise the deep ship design and endless replayability but warn that the game is riddled with bugs, crashes on modern Windows, and needs the Balance Mod to be playable. Some call it a precursor to Stellaris with better ship customization.
