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 competitive survival experience focused on gathering resources, building shelters, and fighting other players on a harsh, mysterious planet.

What players say

Players are divided: some praise the solid survival mechanics and visuals for a free game, but low server populations make PVP-focused playlists feel empty. Complaints target AMD performance problems, trivial offline raiding, and early quests that feel impossible to start.
