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 cooperative survival crafting sandbox where you explore a vast, procedurally generated world, scavenge resources with a mining laser, and build outposts alone or with friends.

What players say

Players are split on Sightseer. Some enjoy its base building and exploration, while others find the vehicle controls clunky and the combat weak. A consistent complaint is that the developer abandoned the game, leaving bugs and an unfinished tutorial. It is now free.
