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 quirky, open-ended primitive life simulator where you control a caveman in a surreal, explorable world, blending retro sensibilities with a relaxed, experimental pace.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful re-release of a bizarre and obtuse PS1 original, with its primitive open world, minimal instruction, and sudden sleep mechanic intact. The game is split between relaxing exploration and frustrating difficulty, especially from the mammoth, and some feel it is overpriced for its repetitive core.
