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.

A tense, strategic survival game where you manage resources and build a wagon town while facing dark, atmospheric challenges.

What players say

Players compare WAGON to Inscryption and Oregon Trail, praising its eerie art and atmosphere. Many note it is punishingly difficult early on, with slow animations that frustrate. Players are split on whether the lack of clarity around mechanics is a design choice or a missing tutorial, and several wish for a restart button and an endless mode after the journey ends.
