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 tense, methodical survival sandbox where every day is a desperate gamble against relentless decay and an undead horde.

What players say
Players praise the tension and emergent storytelling but are split on recommending the game after more than a decade in early access. Long-time players say development stalled, NPCs are still missing, and the modding community provides the content the base game lacks. Reviews mention frequent crashes, memory leaks, and a very steep learning curve.
