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.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Long-time fans praise the freedom of ship building and exploration, especially with the Reforged Eden 2 mod, while critics say development stalled, the tutorial is broken, and the official servers are nearly empty.
