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, deeply complex space empire simulation that rewards patient planning and offers endless replayability through its sandbox and modding systems.

What players say
Players praise its sprawling, detailed 4X simulation with deep automation and ship customization, but warn it has aged poorly and runs unreliably on modern machines. Many prefer it to Distant Worlds 2, though the interface and lack of Russian localization are common complaints.
