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 tense, strategic colony sim where careful resource management and defensive planning are key to survival on a precarious floating island.

What players say

Players compare it to RimWorld and Minecraft Skyblock, praising its 3D colony sim direction while noting a learning curve that plateaus once you optimize production chains. Some call the controls awkward and the translation poor, with zombie raids spawning directly at the base causing frustration.
