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 explore hostile ruins and hack through monsters as a lone dwarf, then rebuild a haven for your exiled kin.

What players say

Players enjoy the blend of exploration, settlement building, and puzzle solving. The game is often called short, around 4 to 5 hours, with progression that feels fast after the midpoint. Opinion is split on the save system: a single save with no backup can lead to total loss on corruption.
