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 laid-back island exploration game where you mine, rescue, and team up with friends at a relaxed, grind-friendly pace.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a hilarious, relaxing co-op adventure with Zelda or Stardew Valley vibes and a short 6-hour campaign, while others complain about losing all resources on death, weak AI helpers, and enemies that outscale you quickly. A few call the combat dismal and the devs unresponsive.
