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 vast open-world survival sandbox where you gather resources, craft tools and structures, and tame creatures to endure a fantasy wilderness with a persistent threat of darkness.

What players say

Players say the game has been abandoned since early access around 2017, with no updates for years. Reviews praise the creature design and survival mechanics but call it janky, unfinished, and buggy, while a few still find hundreds of hours of content for the price.
