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 calm, minimalist city builder where you gently design efficient supply chains and expand across islands at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe Mini Settlers as a minimalistic logistics puzzle where you build supply chains, but they are split on whether it is relaxing or tedious. Many report that progress slows to a crawl even at max speed, resources get stuck on roads, and the developer has left the game without updates for over a year.
