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 are split: some see a solid core with frequent updates, but many report game-breaking bugs like falling through the map, crashes at day change, and disappearing objects. The combat is simple but jittery, and the first fight is often unwinnable.
