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.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and sound design, but they also repeatedly mention getting clapped by an eye monster as a major obstacle. Reviews note the map is large, the game is tough, and it shows its early access state with bugs and rough edges, yet many still find it fun and worth the price.
