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 slow-paced settlement builder where you quietly manage resources and survive monster attacks in a serene snowy landscape.

What players say

Players describe a short, peaceful settlement builder that becomes repetitive and boring once content runs out. Nights bring sudden difficulty spikes with vicious attacks. Many compare it to A Dark Room or a less developed Kingdom, noting a linear experience with slow worker movement and lots of waiting.
