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.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing but intense survival game that starts difficult but rewards persistence, allowing you to survive for hundreds of days. It is a port from mobile, supports cross-device play and offline mode, though one player notes there is no cloud save.
