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 meticulous and often hilarious struggle to build functional spacecraft where failure is as entertaining as success.

What players say
Players say it is a demanding but rewarding sim that teaches orbital mechanics through trial and error. Many share stories of stranded kerbals and explosive failures. Players note the developer went missing in action and the game still crashes, but call it the best tool for understanding spaceflight.
