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 bleak yet empowering scavenger-hunt where every decision shapes your fragile community's fate.

What players say

Players praise the deep survivor management and AI that remembers your actions, but warn of a grindy loop, a time-limited main quest, and punishing difficulty. Some say the graphics and gunplay are dated, and the multiplayer is dead.
