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 sprawling, shared-space sandbox where you carve your own path through mining, building, and cooperating with others, all without the friction of server hopping or queues.

What players say

Players praise the friendly co-op community and relaxing gameplay loop, but they split on the grind. Some enjoy the slow progression and sinking scores of hours, while others call it a barebones mobile-style game with a material grind wall and paid quality-of-life features.
