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 gentle, unhurried colony sim where you guide cute anime people to build a settlement on a lush island.

What players say

Players call this a Japanese take on Banished with cute pixel art and harsh difficulty, but the English translation is borderline unreadable and several basic quality-of-life features like hotkeys and manual saving are missing. Reviews split on whether the micromanagement is rewarding or punishing.
