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 and solitary-feeling space sim where you design and build your own ship, then explore a vast galaxy with the tension of optional PvP encounters.

What players say

Players say development stopped long ago, leaving a functional but unfinished game. The ship editor is praised, but the flight controls are too sensitive and the almost nonexistent player base makes singleplayer unenjoyable. Co-op with friends is still a blast for those who can overlook the abandonment.
