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

Playing as an action-adventure simulation where you manage and strategize on Mars.

What players say

Players enjoy the Mars Attacks-themed human zoo idea and dark humor, but many find the controls clunky and the early access state buggy. Long-time players report addictive loop and responsive devs, while some say the game feels unfinished.
