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 laid-back space adventure where you mine, salvage, and auto-battle through the galaxy, steadily building your ship and crew.

What players say

Players praise the clean UI and dev responsiveness, but most say content runs out in under 10 hours. The loop repeats with only renamed resources after the first boss, progression is slow, and the idle aspect requires more active attention than expected.
