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 solitary survival and crafting experience set in a post-apocalyptic underground world, with methodical base building and automation.

What players say

Players consistently say Aground Zero is a smaller, shorter experience than the original Aground, with many calling it incomplete or rushed. The automation and base building are praised, but the map is tiny, character models are widely disliked, and content runs dry after about 10 hours.
