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 laid-back survival sandbox where you and up to three friends ride a colossal mobile fortress across colorful biomes, gathering and building at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players praise the moving base concept but say it is let down by clunky combat, repetitive gameplay, and bugs like zombies walking through walls. The campaign is short and easy, though solo players can sink 60-plus hours. Multiplayer is broken: objectives must be completed independently.
