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, open-ended experience of building a life among the stars, gathering resources and tending a farm at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing solo farming loop and soundtrack, but many say the early access build feels undercooked with too much waiting and not enough to do, comparing it to idle mobile games. A common gripe is that placed items cannot be moved, only destroyed, which can waste hard-earned resources.
