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 gentle, strategic city-builder where you nurture elven villagers, manage resources, and guide their evolution in a peaceful but occasionally tense fantasy wasteland.

What players say

Players are drawn to the dark fantasy pixel art and the premise of restoring nature, but they consistently report that the game is too buggy to enjoy in its current early access state. The elf AI frequently breaks, resource management feels clunky, and crashes are common enough to ruin saves. Reviews split on whether the foundation is promising or too unfinished.
