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 fast-paced, open-world sci-fi hack'n'slash with a satisfying loop of destructively mining resources and upgrading your ship.

What players say

Players call it 'Asteroids on steroids' with a procedurally generated universe, quirky surprises like planets turning into monsters, and light RPG upgrades. The developer is responsive to issues but content runs thin after a few hours, with missions becoming repetitive. Difficulty scales manually, death is punishing but not permanent.
