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 measured, strategic survival management game where you carefully balance your crew's needs and explore an alien world at your own pace.

What players say

Players compare this to Dead in Vinland and disagree on which is better. The survival mechanics and quality-of-life improvements are praised, but many find the sci-fi story dull and predictable. The tactical combat is solid, yet the game becomes tedious after the survival challenge fades.
