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 darkly humorous cosmic deity simulation where you automate the breeding, raising, and processing of humans for profit.

What players say

Players enjoy the darkly humorous concept of farming humans for resources, comparing it to a 3D Factorio. The game is buggy, with glitches like stuck humans or money exploits, but its fun loop and potential keep players hooked despite the rough early access state.
