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

A tense race against the deadly cold where you must carefully manage time and resources to gather firewood before nightfall.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple wood-collecting survival loop that can be beaten in under an hour. Many praise the low price and pretty graphics, but others report broken menus, a lack of music, and trouble seeing in the dark. A few call it unfinished or a demo.
