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
Exploring a vast, hand-drawn universe with a focus on discovery, ship customization, and tactical battles against alien factions.

What players say
Players call this the closest modern game to Star Control 2, with a modular ship builder and a strong emphasis on exploration. Opinions split on clarity: some love piecing together the story from notes and random finds, while others find objectives frustratingly vague and the constant scanning tedious.
