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 slow-burn strategic trek across a hostile desert where every trading decision balances profit against the threat of ambush.

What players say

Players appreciate the concept and visual style but are frustrated by the lack of saving or checkpoints, making progress punishing when they get stuck on terrain. Many call it a student project with potential but note development appears abandoned.
