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 unique blend of 3D and 2D worlds where you manage a board game-like survival scenario through a TV screen. Reviews split on the tutorial, with some finding it helpful and others calling it too punishing. Many compare it to Inscryption and Hand of Fate, and note the game still needs more content and polish in early access.
