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 sprawling, systemic space simulation where you pilot a single ship or command a galactic empire at your own methodical pace.

What players say
Players praise the living economy and freedom to build an empire, but the steep learning curve and janky UI are constant hurdles. The ship AI is unreliable, the onboarding is confusing, and there's little reason to play after achieving financial freedom.
