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 manage a small village on the back of a giant wandering creature, balancing survival needs with the peaceful rhythm of building and expanding in a post-apocalyptic world.

What players say
Players praise the relaxing city-building on a giant creature's back, often comparing it to Studio Ghibli's Nausicaa. Many note the punishing endgame requires constant micromanagement, and some complain about too many resource types and the inability to rotate the camera.
