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 laid-back city builder where you casually manage resources and build a settlement while a light sci-fi story unfolds.

What players say

Players describe this as a mobile idle game ported to PC, not a proper city builder. The game keeps timers running even after quitting, and several players report fatal crashes. It is short, about 15 hours, and suited for brief play sessions or running in the background. Some find it fun for the price.
