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

Surviving on a hostile, alien planet feels lonely and tense, with each death resetting the world's rules.

What players say

Players say the game has an interesting concept, pairing survival and village management, but the execution is held back by a terrible tutorial, awkward controls with no rebindable keys, and a confusing UI. Many report resorting to YouTube to understand basic mechanics. The developer has moved on, leaving the game abandoned and very short, with most players finishing in under two hours.
