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 tense resource-management simulation where every decision can push your bunker toward survival or collapse.

What players say

Players praise the simple base-building concept but are split on its depth, with many calling it a demo-like experience once you've seen all content in around 24 hours. The main complaint is that the AI is broken, with colonists ignoring tasks, and development has been abandoned for years.
