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 tense, demanding scavenging experience where every find matters amidst a war-torn and mist-shrouded wasteland.

What players say

Players compare it to Stalker and DayZ, praising the atmosphere and gunplay but note it is hard. Early access is rough, with bugs and balance issues, though a day one patch fixed many complaints. Players split on difficulty and performance, some report stutters while others say it runs well. A Chinese localization promised at launch is missing, angering some buyers.
