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, methodical journey through an endlessly expanding fantasy wilderness, where the challenge grows gradually as you craft, build, and teleport at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the developer abandoned Solace Crafting to split it into several new games, leaving the original full of exception crashes, disappearing items, and broken multiplayer. The infinite scaling world is a cool idea, but progress stalled and systems remain convoluted. Fans of Wurm might find something here, but most warn the game is unfinished and unsupported.
