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 relaxed, charming city-builder with a light sense of urgency as you calmly manage resources and explore mines with hand-drawn steampunk flair.

What players say
Players enjoy the mining and tower defense elements but find the city building shallow and repetitive across maps. Many complete the story in 7 to 15 hours and say one map is enough. Some report a vicious cycle where falling happiness drains income, making it hard to recover.
