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, minimalist survival sandbox where you adapt to a confined, artificially recreated environment with a sense of unknown and experimentation.

What players say

Players are split on Lab Craft Survival. Many praise its unusual depth and the way creatures interact, but just as many bounce off a tutorial that fails to explain basic crafting and a clunky UI. The game is unforgiving and relies heavily on random events, leading to frequent deaths that some find unfair.
