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 lonely but liberating post-apocalyptic playground where you methodically break and scavenge everything while slowly taming a wild world.

What players say

Players are split on Dysmantle. Many enjoy the satisfying loop of breaking everything in sight and the steady sense of progression, but others find it repetitive and grindy with little substance. The world is surprisingly large, and completing everything can take over 300 hours.
