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 short, educational mini-adventure on Mars where you build, craft, and solve science problems without intense action or horror.

What players say

Players report the game is very short, around 15 to 20 minutes, and feels more like a technology demo or educational math exercise than a full game. Many describe it as a walking simulator with heavy hand-holding and no sense of accomplishment, and note that development appears to have stalled, with no updates or plans for expansion.
