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 tense, cooperative survival scavenge through a ruined world, balancing combat against mutants with base building and character growth.

What players say

Players are split on Dustward: many see potential in its style and co-op fun, but almost everyone finds it too buggy to enjoy. The aiming and melee often go the wrong way, inventory stacking is a chore, and hunger drains too fast, making the game feel like a broken prototype that needs many more updates.
