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 blocky, open-world sandbox adventure where you explore cubic planets, craft tools and technologies, and survive alone or with others in a sci-fi setting.

What players say

Players feel the game was abandoned early, and they consistently warn that it is a dead, unfinished project. Those who enjoyed it point to the creative mode and the ability to walk on the sun as highlights, but the story was never coherent and development stopped.
