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 slapstick survival road trip where you manage a mismatched party through turn-based tactical mayhem and permadeath.

What players say

Players describe it as a roguelike road trip that mixes Oregon Trail with Mad Max. The driving force is turn-based vehicle combat and skill checks, but many note that random events repeat quickly, lowering replay value. Opinions are split on the geography quiz: some find it fun, others see it as a roadblock for non-American players.
