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 compare it to This War of Mine, and split on the difficulty. Some find the day-to-day resource management and night scavenging stressful and punishing, leading to save scumming. Others enjoy the challenge, though many agree the gameplay loop becomes repetitive after a few hours.
