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.

What players say

Players describe a single-developer open-world adventure that starts slow but improves with time. The lack of hints and glitchy physics frustrate, though the scenery earns praise. Reviews are split on whether the frequent updates through early access are a good sign or not.
