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 lonely, tense experience of piloting a remote rover through a grainy static feed on a deadly alien world where any mistake can end everything.

What players say

Players describe a tense roguelike where you balance greed and survival while scavenging a radioactive planet. The game gets praise for its mysterious atmosphere and many endings, but multiple players report crashes and performance problems, though frequent autosaves soften the blow.
