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

You mine, smelt, and forge weapons step-by-step in a first-person fantasy workshop, exploring abandoned mines and supplying adventurers to shape the story.

What players say

Players praise the core blacksmithing loop as satisfying and relaxing, but split on the quality-of-life and side activities: mining and combat are widely called atrocious, while the forge itself delivers. The developer is noted for rapid patches and frequent updates through early access.
