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 peaceful farming and restoration sim gradually overshadowed by an encroaching plague threat, balancing homely comfort with looming dread.

What players say

Players say Grimshire subverts the cozy farming sim genre by adding real stakes: the village will starve if you fail to preserve enough food through winter. The focus is on food preservation technology rather than profit, and the challenge escalates throughout the first year. In early access, the game offers a complete year 1 story with social systems still being expanded.
