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 wake up stranded on a procedurally generated alien world and must gather materials, build tools, and survive against hostile lifeforms while exploring diverse biomes.

What players say

Players call it a short, simple survival game with a cute look and relaxing pace, best for a few evenings. Combat and crafting are straightforward but gathering feels slow. Many want base building for enemy protection. A single developer keeps adding content.
