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 free-to-play 4X space sandbox where progression relies on skill and exploration rather than grinding.

What players say

The game is effectively dead because its servers are down and most players cannot connect. People call it a mobile app scam ported to Steam with predatory monetization, though a few reviews mention it was once playable and similar to EVE Online.
