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 methodical survivor management game where you direct colonists to gather resources and rebuild in a procedurally generated zombie-infested world.

What players say

Players compare it to Rimworld but note it has less depth, though the developer is highly responsive to feedback and releases weekly updates. Opinions are split on AI behavior and stability, with some reporting crashes around day 15.
