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 hands-on 2D space sandbox where you manage a crew and engage in detailed, real-time ship-to-ship combat while freely exploring and modifying your vessels.

What players say

Players describe a deeply ambitious space sandbox with a unique shipbuilder and destructible combat, but nearly everyone agrees development stalled for years and the game remains a buggy, unfinished mess. A few holdouts praise the core ideas and say the solo dev is still active on Discord, while most call it abandoned.
