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 slow, methodical strategy game where you nurture and expand an alien hive from a single microbe, with a calm, contemplative feel focused on growth and evolution.

What players say

Players report a game-stopping bug at level 7 that blocks progress and wipes saves, alongside other glitches like items stuck in walls and random crashes. A few say the campaign is short and easy once you unlock the unit limit, making bosses and strategy feel trivial.
