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
Playing RimWorld feels like managing a chaotic, story-driven colony where every setback and success emerges from the interplay of AI-driven events and colonists' unpredictable personalities.

What players say
Players call RimWorld a system-thinking game where small failures cascade into disaster, and they often commit war crimes like organ harvesting or human-leather furniture. The game has a steep learning curve, but massive mod support and emergent storytelling keep players returning for hundreds of hours. Players are split on whether they play humanely or ruthlessly.
