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 deliberately paced turn-based strategy game that balances streamlined empire management with deep tactical combat, letting you build an interstellar empire step by step.

What players say
Players describe it as a streamlined love letter to Master of Orion 2, with a simplified planet system that hits a good balance. There is disagreement about staying power: long-time players praise the one-more-turn feel, while others find the tech tree and optimal strategies too static for lasting variety.
