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 classic real-time strategy game where you build bases, gather resources, and compete with other players to survive and rebuild civilization on an alien planet.

What players say

Players praise the persistent offline colony progression and law system that discourages random attacks, but split on pacing: while some love wars that unfold over weeks, others find unit production painfully slow. The game rewards player community knowledge, but its primitive visuals turn some away.
