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 quietly methodical blend of trade-route logistics and family upbringing set against the unhurried backdrop of a young colonial frontier world.

About

The game is set on the colonial planet Grant, which is less than a century old since it was colonized. Spaceships regularly come in search of resources. The player will run a caravan on this wilderness planet, trade goods and export resources from all over the planet. At the same time, we have to raise our four daughters.
