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 puzzle game where you terraform hexagonal planets tile by tile, balancing tools and weather to create habitable worlds.

What players say

Players describe Terraform as a turn-based puzzle game, not a simulation. It starts easy and introduces mechanics gently, but difficulty spikes sharply around year four, where some players find levels nearly impossible. Players are split on whether this makes the game rewarding or frustrating.
