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 deep and complex sci-fi open-world action RPG with procedural generation and a mood of mysterious chaos.

What players say

Players praise the deep weapon-crafting and infinite min-maxing, but frustration over the single auto-save and losing crucial weapon parts on death is widespread. The randomly generated quests are repetitive and sometimes bug out, coop performance is poor, and stealth is ineffective.
