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
Flying through a vast, silent space empire where every trade route and dogfight demands your full attention and spreadsheet-level management.

What players say
Players praise the deep sandbox freedom and sense of scale, but split on the steep learning curve and clunky UI. Many note dated controls, buggy AI causing ship collisions, and the need for mods or bonus packs.
