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 methodical yet rapidly scaling experience where you watch dwarves and machines chew through mountains, building increasingly ridiculous synergies with each run.

What players say

Players are split on the prestige system. Some find it unrewarding and slow, especially early on, while others appreciate the game's endgame and eventual payoff. The balance of dwarf units is a common complaint, with flamers being far more powerful than others. The game is often compared to Gnorp.
