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 painstakingly detailed and unforgiving colony simulator where every dwarf's story unfolds in a procedurally generated world that feels alive and doomed.

What players say
Players describe a deeply simulated colony sandbox where losing is part of the appeal. Many praise the emergent stories and world detail, but the UI is widely criticized as clunky and tedious, requiring the DFhack mod just for basic tasks like building walls.
