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.

What players say

Players compare Drift to Raft in space but say the early game is tedious and lacks automation: you manually load machines, sort inventory, and build duplicates for different recipes. Crashes are common for some. Those who push through enjoy the movement and atmosphere but find the content too thin for now.
