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 tense post-apocalyptic survival game with top-down shooting, base-building, and exploration in a 2D stylized world.

What players say

Players say the game is a mobile port with heavy grind and time-gating, and the developer stopped updating after a few months. The combat has bullet sponges and unfair enemy designs, and the community is hostile to criticism.
