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 slow, methodical struggle against a hostile alien environment, where you piece together shelter and technology alone on a frozen world.

What players say

Players say Surviving Ceres looks rough, with items that feel like Roblox assets, and the map is disappointingly small with no exploration beyond the ice walls. The campaign is short and grind-heavy, and many craftable items and equipment tiers serve no purpose. Boss fights are trivial because turrets are ignored. There is no multiplayer.
