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 carefully build and manage a small island civilization, balancing cultural tenets with the demands of your subjects while enduring the forces of nature.

What players say

A short and forgiving city builder where land is cramped and the sea recedes as your population grows. Players say it is cozy and chill, focused on resource management and relocating buildings rather than harsh failure.
