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 measured strategy game about carefully balancing resources, building infrastructure, and making cautious choices between diplomacy and conflict as your settlement grows.

What players say

Players find the early game hostile with a difficulty spike at five settlers, then the challenge fades into waiting at high speed. Reviews split on depth, some see a charming ten hour semi-incremental builder, others call it shallow and unfinished with manual path placement and missing hotkeys.
