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 gently-paced island management game where you watch your tribe grow and learn on their own while you build and explore at your leisure.

What players say

Players fondly remember My Tribe from their childhood, but the Steam version is a mixed bag. It removes the microtransactions of the Facebook original, yet also lacks its daily events and has no Steam achievements. A common complaint is that islanders age too quickly, even on the slow setting, which some say was not a problem in the Facebook version.
