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 deliberate and methodical turn-based economic simulation of carving out a corporate empire across a vast, densely populated galaxy.

What players say

Players praise the economy system as unique but are frustrated by the lack of a tutorial, minimalist interface, and only one difficulty. Many find it repetitive once the simple mechanics are learned. The game was abandoned in 2016.
