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, tense struggle to scavenge and stay alive in a ruined world where every resource is precious.

What players say

Players enjoy the open world survival loop but are frustrated by bugs, crashes, and a development pace that has slowed to a crawl. The infinite backpack exploit is a recurring joke, while the lack of communication from the developer and absence of planned features like multiplayer hold the game back.
