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 grab-bag of scrappy, unfinished experiments and prototypes that feel like rummaging through a developer's attic.

What players say

Players see Landfall Archives as a museum of rough prototypes and abandoned ideas, with many wishing certain games like Robots Forever 2 would get a full release. Performance can struggle on older PCs, and a minority finds only a few of the 23 demos worthwhile.
