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

Managing a thriving space station with cute colonists, balancing exploration, crafting, and real-time combat in a randomly generated galaxy.

What players say

Players often find the game tedious and repetitive, with a poorly designed UI and a tutorial that leaves too much unexplained. The combat is boring and the gameplay feels like a mobile port, though some appreciate its relaxed pace and simple mechanics.
