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 deliberate and cerebral colony management sim where you methodically transform a barren world into a thriving settlement, balancing resources and growth at your own pace

What players say

Players describe a simple but addictive city builder that is buggy and janky with performance lag, especially when looking at large areas. The developer continues to update the game, though changes sometimes break things. Players still find it unique and worth the low price.
