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

You glide through a starfield, methodically unspooling conveyor belts and smelters across barren worlds, feeling a quiet satisfaction as your factory hums to life and slowly consumes an entire planet's resources for a cosmic engineering project.

What players say

Players love the factory building and visuals, but many complain that traveling between planets is a tedious manual grind. The game feels polished and content-rich even in early access, though popups and menus can overwhelm new players.
