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 nostalgic, lighthearted desert adventure with tank combat, quirky characters, and a comedic tone.

What players say

Players love the art style and soundtrack, but the constant NPC chatter wears thin over dozens of hours. Vehicle combat is fun at first but gets repetitive, and on-foot combat feels clunky. The open world is cozy and packed with things to do, though vehicle customization stays simple.
