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 calm and methodical space station management sim where you balance resources and layout optimization at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players praise the core concept of a chill space station builder with a humorous airlock mechanic and a strong zen mode, but many report frustrating bugs where resource yields are calculated incorrectly at build time rather than end-of-turn. The building variety is low, and the campaign is short, long-time players say the devs are responsive on Discord.
