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 calm, methodical simulation of terraforming a Martian landscape through resource management and strategic planning.

What players say

Players enjoy the visual progression of terraforming and find the logistics satisfying, but many warn that progress requires constant rebuilding and restructuring. The game is simpler than Factorio, with shallow depth and significant performance issues in the late game.
