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 open-world survival sandbox where you constantly balance cooperation and betrayal to gather resources, craft gear, and dominate the server.

What players say

Players compare it to Rust in third-person, praising the responsive development and blockchain earning potential, but split on whether the map is too empty and performance too poor. Many say it has promise but still needs work.
