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

Managing a fragile Stone Age community under the constant threat of Lovecraftian horrors, where daylight is for work and nightfall brings terror.

What players say

Players say the game was released from early access with unfinished mechanics and then abandoned by the developers. The difficulty is punishing, with unclear systems, no saves, and a steep trial-and-error curve. Some enjoy the challenge and atmosphere but agree it lacks replay value.
