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 calm, hands-off space economy where you set tasks and wait for progress to accumulate in a quiet, persistent cosmos.

What players say

Players describe it as a simpler, space-themed Melvor Idle with an MMO twist, where an in-game market and raids set it apart. They praise the cheap price, offline progression, and active development, but note it can feel light on content and requires a constant connection, which hurts when servers stumble. Long-time players worry the leaderboard is capped at level 99.
