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

It feels like a cold, measured puzzle of resource logistics and defensive strategy in the silent vastness of space.

What players say

Players warn that development stopped in 2019, making the game feel like an abandoned proof of concept rather than a finished early access title. It restricts movement to grid-based straight lines between stations, and saving is broken, losing grid and build data.
