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

An open-world survival horror experience focused on scavenging and building defenses against elusive mutant enemies.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy a chill base-building sandbox with frequent updates, while others find the core loop repetitive and the world copy-pasted, with weak enemy AI and a grindy tech system. Performance is praised even on old hardware.
