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 colorful, educational sandbox where you explore prehistoric seas and survive as ancient creatures at a casual pace.

What players say

Players praise the game for filling a niche as one of the few games set in the Cambrian period, but express concern that development has stalled and content is thin, with small maps, few creatures, and predator AI that often idles.
