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 calm, contemplative experience of rebuilding a Martian village through daily chores and exploration.

What players say

Players are deeply split: some enjoy the absurd humor of building a Russian village on Mars with moonshine and banya mechanics, while many call it an asset flip, poorly optimized, and abandoned by the developers with no updates. The grindy quests and broken performance frustrate even those who liked the first game.
