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 methodical town-building sim where you frantically gather resources by day and brace for nightly monster attacks.

What players say

Players widely agree the game has been abandoned or not updated since 2022, with buggy expeditions and a tedious, click-heavy interface. Reviews split on enjoyment: the early colony building is relaxing, but the late game grows boring with unrewarding dungeon raids.
