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

Scavenging and building in a decaying urban wasteland, with a tense, survival-focused gameplay loop.

What players say

Players say the game is a fun but simple survival crafter with challenging bosses, though it is unfinished, there is no ending and progress can be lost to crashes without autosave. Sentiment is split: some enjoy the loop and atmosphere, while others find it too bare and repetitive.
