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 and lonely struggle for survival in an unforgiving, beautiful desert where every resource counts.

What players say

Players compare it to The Long Dark but say resources are too abundant, making survival feel trivial even on the hardest difficulty. The game is described as an escape room rather than a survival struggle, and some note laggy performance.
