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

You drift through space as a growing celestial body, absorbing smaller objects in a quiet, physics-driven sandbox that feels calm and contemplative.

What players say

Players enjoy the novel perspective of playing as a celestial body, evolving from a planet to a star and black hole, each with distinct mechanics. The gravity-based growth feels meditative, though some find the physics unrealistic and the difficulty from asteroids frustrating. The game is compared to mobile 'big fish eats small' concepts.
