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 punishing yet rewarding survival RPG that emphasizes exploration and resource management in a harsh, atmospheric world.

What players say

Players are sharply split on Outward. Many praise its unique co-op adventure and survival crafting that rewards preparation, while others call the combat clunky and unresponsive. The death system is polarizing, some enjoy the stakes and others find it inconsistent and frustrating.
