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

You carefully scavenge, construct, and fortify on a hostile alien world, balancing resource management with defensive positioning.

What players say

Players praise the game's depth but warn it has a steep learning curve with no handholding. The early hours involve dying and restarting until the base building and progression systems click, after which it becomes highly addictive.
