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 deep, strategic space management sim where every decision of ship and crew shapes your path in an evolving galaxy.

What players say
Players love the depth and replayability, calling it an addictive sandbox with engaging ship and ground combat. However, they warn of a steep learning curve and a UI that needs quality-of-life improvements, with no tutorial and achievements disabled for modded saves. Some note the lack of cross-save between mobile and PC.
