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 tense survival experience where you scavenge, craft, and build in a desolate post-apocalyptic world while managing hunger, thirst, and radiation.

What players say

Players call it cheap and promising, but saving breaks every time you log off, built bases vanish. Achievements don't unlock, enemy AI is terrible, and development feels abandoned, with no patches years after release.
