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 dig and build slowly underground, balancing food, beds, and income while watching your colony of orcs grow at a deliberate pace.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the chill colony management and production chains for a few hours, but many report the game was abandoned in 2019 with no bug fixes or updates. Performance becomes unplayable in the mid- to late-game due to single-threaded lag, and the raid system punishes players by consuming all weapons regardless of outcome.
