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 strategic and atmospheric squad-management RPG where careful planning and resource balancing drive a tense fight to protect endangered creatures.

What players say

Players praise the unique conservationist and afrofuturist premise but are split on execution. Some find the mix of social and physical combat novel, while others call combat shallow and the UI confusing. The game is widely seen as buggy and unfinished, even in early access, with several refunding.
