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 sweaty, hands-on first-person grind where you slowly build an oil fortune through grease and raw ambition.

What players say
Players agree the bulk of the game is chopping and hauling wood rather than drilling oil. Most finish the story in 4 to 8 hours, and many say that is far too short for the price. The wood drone often misses drop-off points, and the dog follows you constantly. Players split on whether long playtimes make the grind worthwhile.
