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 methodical, strategic experience of building and managing self-sustaining colonies across the solar system while balancing resources and overcoming environmental challenges.

What players say

Players say the game has potential but a terrible UI with no tooltips and excessive clicking to produce resources. There are pathing problems, buildings that cannot be rotated, and turrets that wreak havoc with friendly fire. The game also appears to have been abandoned by its developer.
