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.

About

"Survivors stranded on an unknown planet. Dangerous creatures roam this planet at night. Fight to protect your escape ship to survive and return to your home planet. Survivors enter the capsule and drift to the planet. If you use the blocks that have fallen on the planet to make their homes, they will wake up from the capsule and become your allies. During the day they bring in new blocks, and at night they return to their homes and fight to protect their escape ships. Let's make a good dwelling and slip through the enemy's attack."
