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

You struggle to survive on a hostile island, gathering resources, building a base, and fending off savage tribes with traps and tamed animals.

What players say

Players are split on this survival game: some enjoy the animal taming and co-op, while many call it an abandoned asset flip. Bugs, crashes that erase progress, and basic building are common complaints.
