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 tense colony management game where you guide unique survivors through harsh, undead-overrun lands with a focus on resourcefulness and long-term survival.

What players say

Players praise its depth, comparing it to Dwarf Fortress or RimWorld. Many love the realistic survival focus and different strategies available, but some report development has stalled, with bugs like no restart option and missing cloud saves going unfixed. Reviewers also split on the UI, with some saying it needs scaling to be playable.
