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 tense, methodical survival game where you automate systems to endure a bleak, cyberpunk-infused wilderness.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of automation and story, with a special nod to the narrative. Some note a tricky start and a final act that loses focus, while power management becomes a tense survival factor.
