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 slow-burn survival simulation where you manage a colony of survivors on a flooded world, building rafts and scavenging for resources across a vast, lonely ocean.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly upset that Last Wood was abandoned by its developers years ago, leaving it in a buggy, unfinished state. The colony management and survival premise is compared to a top-down Raft, but reviewers report game-breaking issues like AI survivors ignoring commands and a crippling lack of polish.
