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 methodical struggle to rebuild civilization under a bleak, realistic sky, where every scrap of resource must be carefully managed.

What players say

Players compare it to Frostpunk with oxygen instead of heat, and note the tutorial is too short to explain approaching hazards. Reviews are mixed on depth, with some saying it gets boring and needs a story mode, while others appreciate the quality of life features. The Chinese translation is criticized as terrible.
