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 gritty survival experience focused on gathering resources, building bases, and fighting both environment and other players.

What players say

Players call it a dead, abandoned game with a survival loop that punishes harshly: you lose everything on death and hunger and energy drain fast. Many also note that online play requires paying for a server or founder's pack, and that performance is poor even on low settings.
