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 demanding engineering sandbox where you build and survive in a harsh prehistoric Earth, balancing realistic resource management with open-world exploration.

What players say
Players praise the realistic orbit and aerodynamic physics, but the learning curve is steep and the programming requirement feels like a cliff. The small team delivers slow updates, and the atmosphere is empty with no weather. Fans of Space Engineers and Stationeers say this is the best in its genre.
