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 calming, no-stakes sandbox where you drift through a miniature solar system, performing gentle missions or just floating among the planets.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple Newtonian physics and casual rocket flying, but find the game very short and repetitive after an hour or two. There are complaints about missing time acceleration and low, unchangeable resolution.
