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 methodical, story-driven survival sim where you weigh resource-management and branching choices to shepherd a fragile colony through a harsh alien world.

What players say
Players describe it as a visual novel with light colony management, best played in a single sitting lasting 5 to 10 hours. The writing and characters are praised, but many note that achievements do not unlock and there is no option to skip text.
