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 slow, methodical exploration of drought survival with light crafting and a focus on learning regional flora and fauna.

What players say
Players praise the cultural setting and the music, but they find the game very short, around two hours, and plagued by bugs, with a controller not working on some systems. The survival mechanics feel shallow, and players can easily exploit infinite water. Reviews split on whether the cultural experience outweighs the repetitive point-a-to-b gameplay.
