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, lonely scramble through a procedurally generated wasteland where every raid is a desperate gamble for supplies.

What players say

Players say Blood Running was abandoned after a 1.0 that left it shallow and buggy. Menus get stuck, healing systems frustrate, and many compare it unfavorably to Zero Sievert, though a few praise the pixel art and extraction loop.
