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 space sandbox where you calmly build, automate, and manage life-support systems while drifting through a quiet, starry galaxy.

What players say

Players describe this as an ambitious 3D take on Factorio that was abandoned by the developer to work on a new game. The interface is clunky, controls are frustrating, and bugs and crashes are common. Positive reviews highlight the satisfying base automation and planet hopping, but even they agree the game is incomplete and needs more work.
