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 but focused dwarven city-builder where you mine, construct, and defend against lurking foes at a leisurely pace you control.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the dwarven base-building concept and see potential, but many more say the game is still plagued by the same performance and UI bugs it had in alpha, and describe it as abandoned with no updates.
