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 lonely, deliberate journey through a strange, desolate lunar landscape that blends quiet exploration with eerie, surreal discoveries.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and story, but many find the gameplay too simplified compared to the predecessor Lifeless Planet, with empty environments and technical issues like audio desync. The 4-hour length feels short for the price.
