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 deliberate, grim survival strategy game where you lead a scrappy crew through a hostile wasteland, balancing scarce resources and tactical combat against factional warfare.

What players say

Players call it a sci-fi sandbox RPG with a living economy and dynamic faction wars, often comparing it to Battle Brothers but noting it is not a clone. Opinions split: some praise the deep trading and tactical combat, while others find it unfairly luck-based with poor writing and a steep early difficulty curve.
