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 tense open-world survival game where you scavenge a harsh desert from a creaky airship, always wary of a lurking sand monster.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call Desert Skies abandoned. They say it had great potential but was never finished, and the developer disappeared after an open world update. A few also mention clunky controls, bugs, and a short campaign.
