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
Managing a sprawling empire feels like a careful, strategic ballet where every ship component and diplomatic deal matters in a tense struggle for survival.

What players say
Players praise the depth of ship design and freedom in a real-time 4X space game, calling it one of a kind. But many say the user interface is broken, with automation failing, camera controls glitching, and fleet management lacking basic features. A few report game-ending difficulty spikes from AI fleets.
