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 and tense open-world survival game where you must manage hunger, thirst, and exposure while crafting shelter and tools to escape a deserted Pacific island.

What players say

Players say development stalled years ago, leaving a game that is buggy in single player and nearly broken in co-op, with items despawning, rafts flying away, and inventory desync. The lack of in-game direction and tedious crafting also draw complaints. Some still enjoy the atmosphere and exploration, but many recommend Raft or Green Hell instead.
