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

Managing a Lovecraftian colony feels like orchestrating the slow, inevitable unraveling of sanity under the weight of cosmic indifference.

What players say

Players compare it to Anno but with a Lovecraftian setting. The cult theme and lore events are praised, but the pace is considered very slow with too much waiting for resources. Micromanagement is a chore since you cannot directly assign cultists to islands. Some report performance issues and unskippable cutscenes.
