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 methodically manage resources and build a colony while uncovering a story of impending doom and scientific redemption through a comic-book lens.

What players say

Players describe SOOT as a puzzle game where you balance resource inputs and outputs to terraform planets, with each stage presenting specific objectives. The comic-style story, told through interactive cutscenes, is a highlight, though some found the gameplay restrictive and puzzle-like rather than a freeform strategy sim. A few reviewers note early difficulty until the mechanics click.
