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 laid-back first-person sandbox where you demolish and build structures at your own pace, managing resources and workers in calm, open world locations.

What players say

Players say the destruction is satisfying but the construction is tedious and the game gets repetitive after a few hours. Some note it is complete in about 30 hours but has no real ending, and controls can feel janky.
