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 methodically plan and build a massive interstellar infrastructure project, feeling a slow, deliberate sense of progress and scale.

What players say

Players call this a brutally hardcore simulation where colony collapse comes from ignored data spikes, not enemies. The learning curve is punishing, most say expect to restart several times, but those who push through find an addictive loop of plugging resource leaks across two star systems.
