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 praise the fun alchemy loop and the low-poly models, but nearly all say content is very limited, with only 3 rooms and no outdoor exploration. Many call it abandoned Early Access, reporting no updates in months. Reviews are split on whether it is a promising foundation or a dead tech demo.
