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 small, unforgiving survival sandbox where you scramble to build shelter and farm before exploring dangerous procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players call it a beefed up Minicraft with solid pixel art and a top-down sandbox. It starts harder than expected, with a punishing stamina bar and red zombies that hit hard. Longtime fans note it lacks Chinese language support and has quirks like the crafting bench being a single column.
