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 lonely, creeping tension builds as you catalog celestial wonders, only to sense an unseen watcher returning your gaze.

What players say
Players say it is a short cosmic horror experience that lasts about 20 minutes. Many wish it were longer and find the telescope panning too slow, but they consider it worth the dollar price.
