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.

a methodical, lightly tense journey as you manage resources and solve puzzles to carve a path through a harsh wilderness.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing, no-pressure resource management game with deeper base building than similar titles, but many find it gets grindy and repetitive over time. Some warn of a progress-wiping save bug that can lock you out of the game entirely.
