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 methodical open-world space sim where you cautiously explore uncharted systems, manage scarce resources, and make strategic decisions against a backdrop of interstellar discovery.

What players say

Players praise the simple yet deep empire-building and the ability to play as a freelancer, pirate, or bounty hunter, but nearly all agree the game has been abandoned by its developer. Long-time fans are nostalgic for the mobile original and enjoy the PC upgrade, though some find the AI too easy since factions cannot build new stations.
