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 widely report that the game has been abandoned after a rushed 1.0 release, leaving many bugs unpatched. Multiplayer suffers from desync and freezes, and one reviewer calls the experience a dead on arrival. A few players enjoy the cooperative colony sim concept, but most agree the execution is too broken to recommend.
