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 lighthearted but strategically punishing expedition where every procedurally generated hex brings either whimsical discovery or sudden catastrophe.

What players say
Players praise the core exploration loop and freedom to interact with natives however they want, but many warn about brutal difficulty where one mistake can snowball into a wipe. Long-time players note the game has good atmosphere yet lacks variety between runs, and that development has stopped.
