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 tense, lonely space survival game where every resource decision feels critical and mistakes punish you harshly.

What players say

Players say the game is brutally difficult and heavily reliant on RNG, with runs often ending in the first few jumps due to scarce resources. Many note you cannot build freely, only salvage parts, and that development has stopped, leaving the game feeling like an unfinished prototype.
