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

You float through detailed zero-g environments, methodically diagnosing and repairing simulated parts with your own tools, balancing realistic tension with a quietly calming sense of solitude.

What players say

Players praise the concept of repairing satellites and space stations, but consistently report the game is unfinished and buggy. Many say controls are frustrating with mouse and keyboard, missions feel repetitive, and development has stopped with no new content coming.
