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 say Blockscape has been in early access for over a decade and will likely never be finished. The game struggles with frequent crashes and a single developer who updates slowly and unpredictably, sometimes breaking what worked. Those who enjoy it treat it as a creative building sandbox, but players warn there is little gameplay beyond that.
