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 open-world space sim where you freely trade, fight, and explore at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the seamless travel, inertia-based flight, and planet landings, but warn of a punishing learning curve with a clunky interface, no autosave, and unclear save mechanics. Many note the developer abandoned this for Evochron Legacy, making the older game hard to recommend.
