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

You carefully build a sanctuary for magical cats in a misty, poisoned wasteland, balancing restoration against lurking danger.

What players say

Players describe Mistpaw Ravine as a relaxing, low-stakes city builder where magic cats are the focus. It is short, often finished in under 10 hours, and leans on a mist-clearing mechanic that blocks vision. Fans note its similarity to Timberborn but with far less pressure and no risk of failure.
