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 quiet, isolating struggle to survive in a vast, snowy wilderness where every step feels both peaceful and precarious.

What players say
Players praise the cold survival atmosphere and crafting, but warn the game has been in early access for years with development slowing, and many feel abandoned. Screen tearing and poor snowmobile handling are common complaints, while players request a co-op mode.
