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 laid-back god game where you nurture tiny civilizations in a lab, watching them evolve over millennia with light humor and a chill pace.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing planet simulator with beautiful procedural art and a short 12-level campaign. Opinions split: some find it boring due to lots of waiting, while others enjoy the low-stakes sandbox and creature combinations.
