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, deliberate city builder where every resource and season demands careful planning to keep a small community alive.

What players say

Players describe a relaxing city builder that is forgiving, with no punishment for unmet needs, and where villages eventually run themselves. The main challenges are raiders, fires, diseases, and keeping up with resources.
