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
You feel like a playful scientist given total freedom to mix elements, cause explosions, and watch realistic physics unfold in a chaotic, creative sandbox.

What players say
Players call it a free, open-source sandbox with enormous creative potential and a physics simulation that rewards experimentation. They praise its optimization and note it runs on very old hardware, with common experiments involving nuclear materials and chain reactions.
