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 explore and reshape a star system, gradually building planets and structures while managing resources in a low-pressure, visually evolving sandbox.

What players say

Players are split on Star Crafter. Some enjoy the relaxing pace and fluid movement, but many more criticize the lack of automation, clunky menus, and brutal endgame grind. The terraforming tool is appreciated, though the world feels empty without enemies or atmosphere.
