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 drive a rover across a foggy alien world, gathering resources to build a base and upgrade your machine before your battery runs out.

What players say

Players find it a short, casual resource-gathering game that is fun while it lasts, but many say development was abandoned, leaving it unfinished despite its early access tag.
