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 manage a fleet of starships in real time, balancing repairs, crew assignments, and alien encounters while trading and exploring a colorful 2D galaxy.

What players say

Players praise the concept and retro style, but most say the game is ruined by frequent crashes, corrupted saves, and bugs like crew getting stuck. Controls and pathfinding are clunky, and many feel development was abandoned. Sentiment is sharply divided.
