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 and colorful colony sim where you carefully draft a blueprint deck and defend your village in turn-based tactical waves.

What players say

Players say the game is creative but brutally hard, with runs often ending in 10–20 minutes. Many point to a poor balance between resource generation, combat, and the random card draw that can lock essential buildings. Equipment crafting is widely seen as too slow to matter, and archers are considered weak.
