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 yet accessible survival loop where you scavenge, build, and fight to stave off a quick game over if you slack off.

What players say

Players warn the survival balance is punishing, especially hunger and the near-immediate dark nights, and find the UI and controls frustrating. Some see promise in the core crafting loop, but the general sentiment is that the game feels too early in development to justify its price.
