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, hands-on sandbox where you pilot and customize a asteroid hauler through methodical resource gathering and system management.

What players say

Players describe this as a deeply complex engineering simulator where the real game is rewiring the ship, not flying it. Multiplayer is widely reported as broken, with co-op essentially non-functional. Some find the rock-fetching loop grindy and the lack of objectives limiting.
