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 methodical settlement management game where you guide dwarves to dig, build, and defend against underground threats.

What players say
Players see it as an unfinished, simplified Dwarf Fortress-style sandbox that is fun in short bursts but gets old quickly. They point to broken achievements, buggy AI, and restrictive level design, though a few still find it charming and addictive for casual digging and building.
