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 guide a tribe through ancient life, balancing resource gathering, building, and family dynamics at a deliberate pace.

What players say

Players praise the unique focus on primitive society development rather than modern settings, calling it a deep social simulation that is addictive for base builders. However, many say mechanics like farming and resource use feel unbalanced, and the early access economy is limited compared to games like Songs of Syx.
