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 deeply complex and rewarding simulation where you feel the tension of engineering and physics failures alongside the thrill of successful launches, all wrapped in a dry, scientific atmosphere.

What players say

Players say the game was abandoned in early access with no updates since 2024, calling it a scam that should be delisted. A few still find the foundation promising but universally recommend the original Kerbal Space Program over this, though a mod called KSP2 REDUX keeps the game alive.
