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 scavenge and craft on a hostile alien world, slowly building a foothold against the creatures and environment.

What players say

Players agree development stopped before the game was finished, leaving it janky compared to modern survival craft games. Those who enjoy it praise the co-op, the alien world exploration, and the building mechanics despite their clunkiness.
