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 vast, pausable real-time strategy game that feels methodical and complex as you manage sprawling space empires across thousands of star systems.

What players say
Players are split: some love the deep economic simulation and replayability, but more say the heavy automation leaves you feeling like a spectator with little real control. Common complaints include vague mechanics, a poor UI, and occasional crashes, though some enjoy it more than Stellaris.
