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 quiet, isolating survival experience where you're left alone on open water, piecing together your situation and improvising with limited tools.

What players say

Players call it a Raft-like survival builder where your raft grows into a floating town with jobs, pirates and sharks. The most consistent points are the responsive developer and multiplayer issues, where non-host players often cannot craft, plus hunger and thirst giving little warning before you die.
