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 feel every swing of the axe and push of the saw, building your operation up from nothing through deliberate, physical effort.

What players say

Gracze cenią prostą, chillową rozgrywkę i wsparcie dla polskiego twórcy, ale szybko dostrzegają monotonię minigier oraz brak wyraźnych ulepszeń. NPC sami nie zarządzają drewnem, a drzewa szybko się kończą, przez co trzeba wszystko robić za nich. Część graczy uważa cenę za wygórowaną jak na grę bez konkretnego celu, inni bronią jej jako wartościowej na kilka godzin.
