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 peaceful, self-directed sandbox where you explore colorful planets, build bases, and farm at your own pace in a charming 2D pixel world.

What players say
Players say the vanilla game feels unfinished and repetitive, with boring planets and fetch quests. Most agree mods are essential for real enjoyment, and many lament development was abandoned. Multiplayer is unreliable, and comparisons to Terraria are constant, though some prefer Starbound's slower, exploratory pace.
