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, relaxing city builder where you thoughtfully place colored hex blocks to grow your city at your own pace.

What players say

Players consistently call hexurb an inferior copy of Dorfromantik, with clunky and unresponsive tile placement, a dark foggy art style that makes tiles hard to read, and no save feature. A few enjoy its relaxed pace and unique mood, but most say it is too simple, short, and boring compared to the game it resembles.
