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 rough, customizable space combat sandbox where you tinker with quirky ships and weapons in early-access form.

What players say

Players are split: some call it an unoriginal StarSector clone and point to broken early access quality, while others enjoy the art style and voice acting despite rough edges. The UI lacks key ship data, crafting previews, and a gallery, and ship design tools are too basic.
