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.

What players say

Players praise the challenging survival gameplay and procedural world, but note a punishing start and slow pace that rewards patience. Some report freezing issues and others want larger inventories, while long-time players expect more content as it remains in early access.
