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 prehistoric settlement through careful resource gathering and construction, balancing survival and expansion against the threat of permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic pixel art and slow-building loop, but many say the game is hard in an unfun way due to clumsy controls that let you select only one person at a time. Some report bugs with the save system, and the developer has stopped responding to issue reports.
