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 quiet, resourceful struggle against a decaying world, where the player must scavenge, build, and hack to outlast the remnants of human-made horrors.

What players say

Players report the developer abandoned the game years ago, leaving it unfinished and barely playable. A few see potential in the co-op and loot systems, but most warn it is a scam that never delivered on its promises.
