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 manage a space station with deliberate planning and resource balancing, building a functional colony step by step without intense pressure.

What players say
Players call it a charming colony sim with a Star Trek vibe, but many say the UI is clunky with no keyboard shortcuts and the endgame gets repetitive. Longtime players report development stalled after 2019. Performance stuttering on medium-sized stations is a common complaint, and the tutorial leaves a lot unexplained.
