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.

A frantic survival sandbox where you scavenge and fight to endure against zombie-like threats and bandits in a desolate open world.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call the game abandoned, with the last update in 2022 and no communication from the developer. Many describe it as a cash grab that feels unfinished, with bugs like falling through the map and a broken save system. A few praise the art style but say there is too little to do.
