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 sprawling medieval survival sandbox where every resource gathered and structure built feels earned against a harsh, persistent world.

What players say

Players are sharply split. Many call it a griefing haven with a dead player base, unoptimized performance and abandoned development. A smaller group praises the devs' responsiveness and sees potential in the combat and crafting, but even they acknowledge it is rough and early access.
