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 challenging open-world survival game that emphasizes precise combat and cooperative base building.

What players say

Players praise the combat but say the open world is mostly empty plains and the horse is barely faster than walking, making travel feel like a commute. Some also find the controller menus clunky.
