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 slow, deliberate, and immersive space flight sim where you carefully pilot realistic spacecraft through a detailed star system, focusing on precision and navigation over action.

What players say

Players praise the realistic orbital mechanics and flight physics, but note that the world feels empty and bland with limited tasks. The ships are overpowered, which makes mistakes forgiving while keeping the simulation challenging. Some worry the game is abandoned.
