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-paced, menu-driven clicker where you steadily upgrade your ship and station through repetitive missions and raids.

What players say

Players are split on this idle game. Many say it is too complicated with multiple currencies, forces active play despite being an idle game, and has a painfully slow grind that takes thousands of hours. Others enjoy the complexity and slow numbers-go-up loop, but even long-time players note the game is no longer supported.
