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.

What players say

Players praise the game's unique first-person colony sim formula where you assign jobs to villagers and defend against nightly zombie attacks. Reviews consistently highlight the developer's long-term dedication through years of updates, though some note the mid-game can become imbalanced after losing soldiers and that performance lags with massive colonies.
