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, expansive space sandbox where you freely explore, trade, mine, and fight at your own pace.

What players say

Players value the customization and freedom but are split on recent changes. Many with hundreds of hours praise the sandbox, ship building, and mix of combat and trade. A vocal group says an update added an overheat mechanic that makes cloaking ships self-destruct, and that enemies invade constantly even in safe zones, forcing combat.
