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 are split on XenoHaven. Many praise its core loop of collecting minions and exploring, and a few with deep playtime enjoy the boss progression and tech tree. However, reviewers consistently call it janky and buggy, with poor tooltips, broken UI, and a confusing build menu. The game fully releases content through bosses, but some find the mid-to-late game grindy and repetitive.
