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 tropical survival game about washing ashore on an island and gathering resources at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the relaxing, straightforward crafting and digging loop, but many say the game is too short, around 15–30 hours. Co-op is praised, though some find the endgame lacking and note a few bugs and unclear instructions.
