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 calm and colorful sandbox where you guide medieval villagers to build and manage a thriving colony at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the building and research but say the game feels unfinished and slow, with many noting the colony cap at around 11-13 colonists. Multiple long-time players report the game appears abandoned by its developer, though mods can extend the fun.
