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

Feels like overseeing a fantasy forest domain, balancing strategic defense and light construction under changing weather and time-of-day conditions.

What players say

Players are split on Dark Forester. Some enjoy the unique blend of genres once they figure out the controls, but many say poor performance, a terrible UI, and a lack of proper tutorial make the alpha-stage game near unplayable.
