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

You struggle to survive by scavenging scarce supplies along a forsaken railway, constantly aware of lurking threats in a bleak, abandoned world.

What players say

Players praise the concept but report the game is unplayable due to bugs: crates are often empty, there is no starting weapon, no settings or pause menu, and respawns are broken. Some call it an abandoned scam, while a few still hope for updates.
