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 laid-back sandbox where you shape and observe living worlds with god-like powers at no cost.

What players say

Players enjoy the sandbox freedom to create and destroy civilizations, but many find the civilization simulation shallow and the unlock system frustrating. The game receives slow but meaningful updates, and some players feel mods are necessary for deeper control. It never goes on sale, which disappoints some given the price.
